For Jermaine Whitehead, the Cleveland Browns’ 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday may have just gone from bad to worse.
Moments after the Browns’ latest defeat came to an end, a Twitter account that appeared to belong to Whitehead sent threatening tweets to fans who had criticized his play, as well as 92.3 The Fan radio host Dustin Fox.
After Fox tweeted that “Whitehead’s effort tackling today is a joke” during the game, Whitehead replied with a tweet to Fox saying “come get in blood b—- made a– [little] boy. I’m out there with a broke hand. Don’t get smoked f— a— c——.”
In other tweets, Whitehead sent a follower the address to the Browns’ team facility in Berea and also told a Twitter user [I’m going to] kill you b—-.”
While Whitehead’s account was not verified by Twitter, it was followed by multiple Browns players and team staff members. Shortly after the tweets were posted, the account was suspended by Twitter.

According to Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Whitehead declined to speak with reporters following the game through a team spokesperson. His left hand was also in a brace.
Starting in place of Damarious Randall, who missed his second straight game to a hamstring injury, Whitehead failed to register a single tackle vs. Denver on Sunday.
