Cleveland Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman broke his hand during Wednesday's practice, the team confirmed in a statement.

An X-ray late this afternoon on Corey Coleman's hand revealed a fracture. He was a full participant in today's practice. The injury is being further evaluated in order to determine when he will return to play.

Coleman was selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Browns, catching seven passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns during his first two games.

It's unclear how severe the break is.

Coleman's absence is devastating to the Browns' offense. He emerged as a top threat in the passing game during his first two games.

It's likely Terrelle Pryor and Andrew Hawkins will take more snaps in Coleman's absence.
