Cleveland Browns safety Ronnie Hickman suffered minor injuries in an assault in New York City early on Monday. The Browns released a statement Monday afternoon that said Hickman, 24, was hurt at a hotel on the Lower East Side but is recovering. “Safety Ronnie Hickman was a victim of assault early Monday morning at a New York City hotel,” the statement said. They said the victim was treated at Bellevue Hospital, which is about a mile and a half from the hotel, matching the Browns’ description of events. Hickman just completed his third season in Cleveland — his first as a full-time starter — after the Browns signed the undrafted Ohio State alum in 2023.
