SAD NEWS: Browns key player underwent surgery for an adductor tear…….

Kareem Hunt, the running back for the Cleveland Browns, had sports hernia surgery recently to fix a ruptured adductor, sources informed ESPN on Tuesday.

Dr William Meyers performed the procedure.

For the most of the season, Hunt’s groin problem was noted on the Browns’ injury report. Despite the injuries, he continued to play and ended up with ten rushing touchdowns, one of which came in Cleveland’s wild-card loss to Houston.

A ruptured adductor usually necessitates emergency surgery and can keep athletes out of action for six to eight weeks. Lane Johnson, the right tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, persevered through a comparable injury to reach the Super Bowl the previous season.

Hunt’s accomplishments and hard ethic were acknowledged by Browns coach Kevin Stefanski during his end-of-season news conference earlier this month.

Browns’ Kareem Hunt underwent surgery for an adductor tear.

Alright, let me talk about Kareem. I’m incredibly grateful for him, his playing, and his sense of flair. We obviously didn’t have a position prior to Nick [Chubb] getting hurt, but Kareem deserves credit for staying in excellent form. We brought him in and resolved his issues. He performed incredibly well for us, made plays in high-pressure situations, and scored touchdowns. He also looked fantastic and quickly caught up with the system, according to Stefanski. “He’s a fighter and gave us a lot of value.” adore the gait he has. We really needed the enormous spark that his running style provided.”

On September 20, Hunt, a former NFL rushing champion, joined back with Cleveland following Chubb’s serious knee injury.

Hunt, who becomes a free agent in March, has stated that while he intends to explore his options as a free agent, he would prefer to stay in Cleveland.
