The Cleveland Browns kicked off their season with a heated match against the Carolina Panthers that quickly turned physical. In the first quarter, Browns safety Rayshawn Jenkins was ejected after engaging in a fight with Panthers' Xavier Legette, a former first-round draft pick. Both players received unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, highlighting Jenkins' aggressive introduction to Browns fans.

This incident raises questions about Jenkins' fitness for the roster, especially as the team navigates a crowded defensive backfield. With Jenkins now facing competition for his spot, his actions could have lasting repercussions as the Browns aim to solidify their defensive strategy for the season.
