Browns RB Kareem Hunt Has Surgery on Sports Hernia Injury; 4-6 Week Recovery

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will miss the team's preseason finale Thursday night after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia injury earlier in the day, the Browns announced.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added that a four to six-week recovery is expected, while the team noted that "a full recovery is anticipated prior to his return to action in Week 10 of the regular season."

Hunt was already set to spend the Browns' first eight games serving a suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
