Fourth-round defensive back Howard Wilson will undergo surgery on a fractured patella and is expected to miss a significant amount of time.
Wilson, whom the Browns selected with the 126th overall pick, suffered the injury near the end of Friday’s rookie minicamp practice. He was the only cornerback among the Browns’ 10 draft picks.
“It's disappointing but this is a part of playing football,” Wilson said. “It was kind of a freak thing. I was just running around and my knee just kind of locked up on me. I didn't think much of it but the training staff wanted to get the proper testing so I got the MRI.
