Cleveland Browns’ Pro Bowl wideout Jarvis Landry decided to use the offseason to tackle the nagging hip injury that troubled him for the better part of 2019. Browns confirmed on Thursday that Landry underwent hip surgery earlier this month, but is expected to be fully ready for the next season.
Landry previously told the reporters that he intends to deal with the injury by rehabbing until the start of the new campaign. However, things obviously didn’t go as planned, and the player opted to get the procedure instead. According to sources close to the organization, the 27-year-old WR should recover in time for training camp.
Landry himself discussed the surgery in two lengthy videos he posted on social media.
Despite the injury, Jarvis Landry managed to put together a productive season. He finished the year with 83 receptions for 1,174 yards and six touchdowns en route to his fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance. This was unfortunately overshadowed by Cleveland’s poor form as the team missed the playoffs with 6-10 record.
Landry is second Browns’ wideout that had to go under the knife this offseason. Previously, Odell Beckham Jr. underwent surgery to fix his core muscle issues.
