  • Report: Browns lose Desmond Bryant for the season


    Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant is likely to miss the 2016 season due to a torn pectoral muscle, Anthony Lima of 92.3 The Fan and WOIO Channel 19 in Cleveland reported Tuesday night.


    The report said Bryant had surgery Tuesday to repair the tear and faces a 5-6 month recovery period, which means he’s likely to miss the entire 2016 season.


    Byrant led the Browns with six sacks last season and was again expected to be a starter and key player in the team’s defense under defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who was also the team’s defensive coordinator in 2013, the first year Bryant played for the Browns.


    A former undrafted success story out of Harvard, Bryant, 30, broke into the league with the Raiders and played four seasons there before signing with the Browns in 2013. He’s started 59 of 104 career games and has started all 41 games he’s played the last three seasons in Cleveland.


    The Browns already were starting the season without defensive end/outside linebacker Armonty Bryant, who’s serving a four-game NFL suspension.

  • Xavier Cooper, Come on down.

  • Crap. He was our best DL last year.

    Our best DLineman since we GOT him.

    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

  • He sucks against the run.. no great loss.

    Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~

  • Still think it's a huge loss, especially from leadership position. Not only that, we're going to be depending an awful lot on rookies and second year players. Ugh.

  • With this loss, maybe one of the defensive rookies will be slotted in to fill that spot,

    LB, D. Alexander

    DL, N. Stample

    DL, C. Nassib

    LB, E. Ogbah

    DL, K. Rose

    LB, J. Schobert

    LB, S. Wright

  • Looks like Nassib is getting a lot more reps than he was supposed to. Cooper as well.

  • While I regret his loss, it's also a great OPPORTUNITY for one of our young players to step up. It will be interesting to see who will. I do think we have talent there.

  • I was under some impression that Bryant's job may have been on the line anyway....from just his own basically mediocre play...and from the competition he was to face.

    He led the team in sacks last year. While not exactly all-pro, 6 sacks for an interior DL is a pretty decent return.

    Ya, this is not good news, but it is opportunity. Young guys put on the fast track. Nassib is next man up, if he is not NFL ready we are going to see a lot of John Hughes.

  • Wouldn't shock me to see him cut, if it's even vaguely favourable. Missing this year, he'll come in to next season as a 31 year old, coming off of a lost year and making $7m, only $1m of which is guaranteed.

    Except, correct me if I am wrong, DB is a DE, not on interior DL. That still may be a decent return....

    I don't think they can cut him if he goes on IR. They will have to continue to pay him.

    He's not a primary pass rusher in the team, which is the job of the OLBs.

    The greatest pass rushers in history were DEs. Deacon Jones, Carl Eller, Michael Strahan, Bruce Smith. Some guys were like combo guys.....like MDP and JJ Watt.

    Playing a 3spot is most certainly interior dline.

    Having this conversation yet again is tedious. How long have you been a football fan and you don't know this?
