CLEVELAND: Browns starting defensive end Desmond Bryant will miss the upcoming season with a chest injury.
The Browns’ leader in sacks last season, the 30-year-old Bryant underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn pectoral muscle. The Browns said Bryant sustained the injury during a workout last week.
The team said Wednesday that Bryant is expected to make a full recovery, but “will unlikely be able to return during the 2016 season.”
“We feel awful for Des,” first-year coach Hue Jackson said. “This is a young man that worked extremely hard this off season to prepare himself for the 2016 season.
