The injury report is a rare place to find a coach’s name. But on Friday that’s where Cleveland Browns offensive Line coach Bob Wylie found himself. Wylie was listed as “doubtful” after breaking his ankle during practice on Thursday.
The designation, made by interim head coach Gregg Williams, brought some levity to a very unfortunate situation. Wylie underwent surgery to repair the broken ankle Thursday evening at University Hospitals.
To say Wylie is beloved by the Browns O-line would be a drastic understatement. They vowed to win the game against the Bengals for their coach.
