"Glad that he's back home," the coach said.
The Browns' win on Thursday night came with a cost -- their star receiver, Elijah Moore, suffered a terrifying head injury that sent him into convulsions right on the turf.
The scary moment happened just before halftime of Cleveland's "Thursday Night Football" tilt with the New York Jets ... when Moore slammed his head face-first into the grass at Cleveland Browns Stadium after making a big catch.
Replays of Moore's grab showed he wasn't able to brace himself as a Jets defender flung him to the ground -- and almost immediately, he appeared to be knocked out.

What's worse ... while seemingly unconscious, his body twitched repeatedly.
Moore eventually regained consciousness and was taken off the field by trainers. He did not return to the game ... and he's since been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol.
His status for Cleveland's regular-season finale against the Bengals next week is now in doubt -- though further details surrounding his condition have not been made immediately available.
Moore had been having a big game prior to his injury -- the 23-year-old caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Cleveland still managed to get the 37-20 win in Moore's absence -- securing a spot in the playoffs ... something we all hope can lift Moore's spirits while he recovers.

CARDI B & OFFSET HANG OUT IN NYC DESPITE BITTER SPLIT!!
Cardi B's made it crystal clear she's not back together with Offset following their nasty split ... though they're still spending an awful lot of time together.
They were out and about in NYC Thursday -- and it looks like they were enjoying each other's company all day long ... despite going to strategic lengths not to be pictured together -- though it looks like a fan gave their game away.
As you can see ... the same woman poses in a snap with Cardi and then one with Offset -- pinpointing their location at the same store.
You can see, Cardi's sporting a pink hoodie and long red pointed nails ... and the same look makes an appearance on her IG Stories later, as she butters bread at the city's famous Torrisi restaurant.
To add fuel to the fire ... Offset's in the same emoji hoodie from the fan selfie earlier ... posing for another fan snap on the Big Apple streets.
Despite attempts to keep their hang-out session low-key, Cardi's already let us know there's nothing to see here, folks ....
Earlier this week, she liked a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" meme on her X feed ... that shamed people making up fake stories about her and Offset romantically reconciling.
The speculation began after they spent Christmas together for the sake of their kids ... and took them to see Travis Scott in NJ the next day.
The festive family bonding came shortly after Cardi unleashed an expletives-riddled tirade accusing the rapper of treating her poorly ... adding they were done and dusted.

Gypsy tells TMZ ... she's been a Swiftie since the start, following Taylor's entire career and leaning on her music while serving 7 years in prison.
The famous felon says she and Taylor have both been through their own eras, and Taylor's music carried her through some of the best and worst times of her life.
More specifically, Gypsy says Taylor's tunes were a big help in getting through the abuse and trauma she suffered at the hands of her mother Dee Dee ... as well as her time behind bars.
As we reported, Gypsy would spend the money her father sent her in prison on Taylor's albums ... and we're told she was able to purchase every album Taylor put out, including her re-releases.
Gypsy says Taylor's songs kept her extremely motivated towards gaining her freedom ... and now she's finally out on parole.

This is the first time they have been spotted together since an SNL after-party in October.
Pete and Madelyn's low-key outing comes after Pete canceled a string of shows from Dec. 26 to Jan. 4 due to "unforeseen circumstances" ... with disappointed fans being promised refunds ASAP.
Pete's remained mum on the situation ... and it looks like he's making the most of his newly cleared schedule to prioritize some quality time with Madelyn.

CHRIS HARRISON 'THE BACHELOR' EXIT WAS 'TOXIC,' GRATEFUL I LEFT!!

Nikki Haley Branded A Flip-Flopper On Trump By Nine-Year-Old OK, I'd Pardon Trump
Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley may wanna get outta New Hampshire for good ... first she was roasted for her Civil War comments and now she got slammed by a nine-year-old for being a flip-flopper on Donald Trump!
In her latest Granite State headache, Haley was holding a campaign event Thursday in North Conway when a precocious adolescent named Adam grabbed the mic and unloaded on the former South Carolina governor.
Adam mentioned that Chris Christie – another 2024 Republican presidential challenger -- had called Haley a flip-flopper on pardoning Trump if he were convicted of a federal crime.
The boy told Haley he agreed with Christie and compared her to former Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry. As you may recall, Kerry lost the 2004 election to Republican rival George W. Bush after changing his position on numerous issues.
Haley began her response by saying she was proud Adam asked the question before defending herself on the "flip-flopper" claim.
She maintained her position that she thought Trump was the "right president at the right time" and agreed with many of his policies, but he's now become too chaotic and should not be put back in the White House.
She insisted Christie had become "obsessed" with Trump, while also scolding Adam for comparing her to serial flip-flopper Kerry. She then vowed to pardon Trump if he were convicted because it would be in the best interest of the country.
Haley's latest migraine came just one day after she flubbed her answer on what caused the American Civil War. At a campaign stop in Berlin, NH, Haley left out the fact that slavery triggered the bloody conflict between the Union and the Confederacy in the 1800s.
As a result, Haley was blasted by the media and most everyone else. Even former CNN anchor Don Lemon gave Haley a shot for her slavery SNAFU, saying she did not show him any grace when he said she was past her prime during a live TV broadcast.
Haley has since clarified her comments, expressing that slavery sparked the Civil War, but that there’s a larger picture about the role the government plays in our lives.
We don't know yet how much Haley's New Hampshire nightmare will cost her in the polls ... but one thing's for sure ... Trump, so far, is running away with the Republican nomination.

'BLING EMPIRE' STAR JESSEY LEE EX-WIFE DENIED FRAUDULENT D.V. RESTRAINING ORDER

Exclusive
- 67 shares
"Bling Empire" star Jessey Lee just scored a huge legal victory over his ex-wife... she accused him of abusing her and their kids, but her request for a restraining has been tossed.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Crystal Hoang Lee's request for a restraining order against Jessey has been dismissed.
TMZ broke the story ... Jessey's ex-wife filed for court-ordered protection from him earlier this month, leveling shocking allegations of violence against him.
Crystal, who was once married to Jessey and has 2 children with him, claimed he hit one of their kids because the child wouldn't go to sleep. She also accused him of causing her to suffer a miscarriage, but her docs didn't go into further detail on that allegation. In the end, the judge dismissed all allegations for lack of evidence.
In her restraining order request, Crystal also accused Jessey of hitting her, leaving their family to go off and gamble, and uprooting the kids. We should mention, a Texas judge had already awarded temporary full custody to Jessy before Crystal even filed for the TRO.
The judge denied Crystal's request for a TRO and set a hearing for last week ... and now the judge has dismissed it altogether.
Jessey's attorney James Daily tells TMZ ... "It’s deeply concerning to witness how the media can be swayed by sensationalist claims, especially in light of the overwhelming evidence against Crystal Lee. Found guilty on 73 counts of contempt, her actions not only sought to unfairly malign Jessy Lee’s character but also blatantly disregarded the well-being of their children. Jessy, known for his gentle and loving nature, has been a victim of malicious defamation, an attempt to overshadow his true identity as a devoted father and respected businessman."

Denver Broncos Trade For Russell Wilson Is 'Worst Of All Time' ... Ex-NFL GM Says
-
Exclusive
- 556 shares
No deal in the history of the NFL has been more awful than the one the Broncos made to get Russell Wilson ... at least, that's according to ex-NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, who tells TMZ Sports Denver's trade for the QB "is going to go down as the all-time worst."
The former Cleveland Browns decision-maker didn't mince words when discussing Wilson's benching with us this week ... explaining he believes the Broncos' 2022 swap with the Seahawks will now go down as a historic blunder.
"When you add the contract and the trade," Lombardi said, "it's the worst of all time."
The Broncos gave up a bevy of picks -- including a first-rounder and a second-rounder -- plus three other players in the move to acquire Russ before the '22 season. They then signed the 35-year-old to a massive $245 MILLION contract extension.
Russell Wilson Benched In Denver
But, Russ played terribly in 2022 ... and wasn't all that much better in 2023 -- which forced Sean Payton to sideline him this week for Jarrett Stidham.
The head coach's decision likely signals the end of Wilson's Denver tenure -- and with it all but over, Lombardi's ready to dub it the most disastrous NFL deal ever.
Lombardi said prior to the Broncos' move, there had been other historically bad ones -- including the Vikings' infamous 1989 trade with the Cowboys for Herschel Walker -- but he said "none of those trades had contracts attached to them that impact the salary cap in future years."
"Russell will move from Denver," Lombardi said. "But his cap problems will remain for two more years."
There is at least good news for Wilson on the horizon, according to Lombardi ... the former NFL exec says the QB should have a market if/when the Broncos officially cut him.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge signed off the settlement reached by Steve and his now-ex-wife, Sheree Gustin, on Wednesday ... agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children, Jack and Brooklyn.

DON LEMON BLASTS NIKKI HALEY'S CIVIL WAR DAMAGE CONTROL
Don Lemon hasn't forgotten about his clash with Nikki Haley earlier this year ... bringing it up as a way to diss her over fumbling a question about the cause of the Civil War.
The former CNN anchor is ripping Nikki for asking for grace for omitting slavery from her answer ... he says she was quick to pounce on him when he called her past "her prime" earlier this year on CNN, and didn't leave him room to ask for grace.
As you know ... Nikki is catching tons of flak for not mentioning slavery as a catalyst for the Civil War in response to a question on the presidential campaign trail.
Nikki's since backtracked, telling CNN she didn't mention slavery because she thought it was so obvious.
Don says he's glad she's clarified her remarks ... adding, "In the spirit of the season, let's see if her actions match her corrected words moving forward."
It's no surprise Don is still sour about his beef with Nikki ... the remark was another strike for him at CNN, and it caused him to back out of an event he was set to moderate.

Childish Gambino fans might not have to wait much longer for new tracks, despite no album in over 3 years ... 'cause Donald Glover tells us new music is on the horizon.
We got Donald -- or, as he's known in the music world, Childish Gambino -- leaving the Greenwich Hotel in New York, and we asked him about his different methods for laying out genre styles in his albums ... but that's not the kicker here.
On his way into his ride, we asked what's next for him ... and with a bit of a smirk, he tells us he's been working pretty hard in the studio -- and the album is coming "soon."
Fans obviously have reason to rejoice here ... especially because Childish Gambino's last album, "3.15.20," dropped in March 2020 ... still, the guy hasn't been totally radio silent since then, to be fair.
He and KIRBY cranked out an EP earlier this year for his show, "Swarm," which he created along with Janine Nabers ... and last year his other show, "Atlanta," wrapped its final season.
Looks like music is Donald's latest venture yet again ... hopefully he doesn't leave fans hanging for too long!

Von Miller Breaks Silence On Arrest ... Calls DV Claims '100% False'

Von Miller is finally opening up on his domestic violence arrest ... adamantly saying the allegations against him are "100 percent false."
The Buffalo Bills superstar sat in front of media members for over 10 minutes on Thursday to explain his side of the story ... roughly one month after he was thrown behind bars for allegedly roughing up his pregnant girlfriend during a bye-week argument in Dallas.
Miller repeated over and over again that he did not put his hands on his GF -- saying emphatically, "All of it is incorrect. All of it is untrue."
"Never in any of my relationships that I've been in, never in my current relationship with my girlfriend, did any of those things happen," he said.
"It is 100 percent false," he added. "It's overblown."
Miller was accused of pushing and shoving his GF, before putting his hands around her neck following a dispute over travel plans. In 911 audio, Miller's alleged victim can be heard telling an operator, "My boyfriend was choking me, hitting me, pulling my hair."
"I have bruises all over me," she added in the call, before saying she had "some blood on me."
Miller, however, said the claims were simply just not true, telling reporters, "All of it is incorrect."
"All I can say is it's just a matter of time before everything gets set straight," he said.
Miller -- who has been allowed to play for the Bills despite the allegations -- has not been criminally charged in the case as an investigation remains ongoing.
As for his relationship now with his girlfriend, Miller said, "Everything is normal."
"It was just a crazy day."
