Last night, Cleveland Browns fans received some terrible news. Defensive end Desmond Bryant will most likely miss the entire 2016 NFL season after undergoing surgery for a torn pectoral muscle.
Browns head coach Hue Jackson released a statement via ClevelandBrowns.com along with Bryant who talked about his injury.
Hue Jackson Statement:
We feel awful for Des. This is a young man that worked extremely hard this off season to prepare himself for the 2016 season. He really bought into our coaching, our team-over-self-philosophy and was intent on becoming a leader for our team. Ray (Horton) and the defensive staff were expecting a really productive season from him. We all understand that injuries are part of this profession and as a team you have to find a way to overcome them. There is no doubt that we will miss Des this season and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Statement from DE Desmond Bryant:
First off, thank you to all the fans, friends, and family who have reached out expressing their well wishes in response to the news of my injury.While I’m frustrated and disappointed about having to miss some time out there with my teammates, I take comfort in knowing that preparations have already begun for an epic return.
Bryant, 30, led his team with 6 sacks and 33 tackles last season. He was considered the most underrated Browns player on the entire roster.
His presence will be missed this season.
