The Cleveland Browns defensive line was dealt yet another blow when Desmond Bryant suffered an injury while lifting weights in a gym Tuesday, tearing one of his pectoral muscles. On Wednesday, the Browns announced that Bryant had surgery, and will not be able to play in the upcoming season.
The Browns will miss the seven-year veteran, as he starts for one of the thinner position groups on the roster. Bryant led the defense with six sacks in 2015, and was able to record 24 tackles on the year. The Harvard graduate was one of the brighter spots during an otherwise miserable season for the Browns in run defense.
