Olivier Vernon will miss the Cleveland Browns playoff run
The Cleveland Browns are in the postseason for the first time since 2002 after a 24-22 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But they lost starting defensive end Olivier Vernon along the way, according to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. It’s a ruptured Achilles that will sideline Vernon for the rest of the season and will require a long rehabilitation after surgery.
