Browns lose Anthony Walker Jr. for the rest of season
The Cleveland Browns will be without their starting MIKE linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. for the rest of the season as it has been revealed that he tore his quad against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The discouragement from his teammates was palpable last night as Walker Jr. is a true leader on that unit.
Moving forward, Jacob Phillips, who was rotating in and out, will take over as the full time MIKE for the Browns. For a player that was off to the best start of his career, this is a devastating injury as he is again set for free agency next offseason.
An MRI today on Browns’ LB Anthony Walker revealed that he tore his quad tendon and he now will require season-ending surgery, per source. It is considered to be a 5-to-7 month injury.
