The Browns have cycled through plenty of quarterbacks this year because of injuries, which is not unrelated to the injuries on their offensive line.
But at least they get to save on medical scooters.
Browns right guard John Greco said he likely has the same kind of Lisfranc injury that knocked Joel Bitonio out for the season. The only good news is he gets to use the same scooter Bitonio used while he awaits surgery. He’s going to see specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte next week, and will likely have surgery then. The rehab could last a year, which could complicate next season as well.
“I know [fluky],’' Greco said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Two in one year if that’s what it is. I would think it is [Lisfranc]. . . .
“It was weird. I was in the training room. He [Bitonio] rolled in, and they were like, ‘Hey, give that to John.’ It was crazy how it worked out. It’s hard for me to understand. It’s such a long recovery. But you’re out of the boot and you’re able to walk. But it’s like why does it take such a long time [to recover]?”
Greco started 12 games for the Browns this year, 10 at guard and two at center before being placed on IR. He’ll be replaced by former Arizona first-round pick Jonathan Cooper, who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots earlier this year.
The Browns have allowed 45 sacks this season, most in the league. So good luck, Robert Griffin III.
