CLEVELAND -- Former Browns offensive tackle and current radio commentator Doug Dieken did not travel with the team to London and will miss his first broadcast in nearly 30 years on Sunday.
Dieken was hospitalized this week with an undisclosed illness, preventing him from accompanying the Browns for their matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the team's first regular-season international game.
One of the most durable players in franchise history, Dieken has been part of the club's radio team since 1985 after his 14-year career ended. He last missed a game in 1989.
