BEREA, Ohio -- Mike Pettine revealed Wednesday that rookie cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu will likely sit out the 2015 season while he continues to recover from a serious knee injury while in college.
Ekpre-Olomu (5-9, 192) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and dislocated knee during a practice in December for Oregon's clash with Florida State in the national championship semifinal and underwent surgery soon thereafter. Before the injury, the first-team All-American was a potential first round pick.
"I definitely feel like I was,'' he said in May, shortly after the Browns drafted him in the seventh-round.
