In Sunday’s Browns vs. Titans game … Tart blew through the backfield but couldn’t make the play. On his way back up the field, Tart JUMPED on Cleveland star O-lineman Wyatt Teller with one leg.
Check out the clip … the play was SUPER dirty — Tart put his spike right into Teller’s hamstring.
Fortunately for the Browns, Teller avoided injury … but the play will cost Tart and the Titans — the NFL has now barred the dude from suiting up for Tennessee’s game against Jacksonville on Sunday.
Tart — a 23-year-old undrafted rookie out of FIU — has played in 5 games for Tennessee this season … logging 2 tackles and 2 QB hits.
