Ifo Ekpre-Olomu still has a long way to go, six months after surgery

Browns rookie cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is six months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL, which he suffered in December while practicing for Oregon’s NCAA playoff game. He’s still not running at full speed.

Ekpre-Olomu, who suffered both a torn ACL and a dislocated kneecap and needed a second surgery after the first one six months ago, says he’s hoping he can run as fast as ever once he’s fully healed.

“The running, they say, will come easily once that’s back so right now I’m really focusing on strengthening the quad and hamstring again,” he told ESPN.
