New Browns recruit Zak Zinter, who hails from Michigan, is anticipated to make his debut in the 2024 season despite breaking his leg in a match against Ohio State last November. The injury, which occurred during a critical game, served as a rallying point for Michigan, showcasing Zinter’s significance to the team. Cleveland hopes for a similar impact from him after drafting him in the third round of the NFL Draft. Browns’ GM Andrew Berry confirms Zinter’s readiness for the upcoming season, expressing confidence in his recovery from fracturing both his tibia and fibula. With veteran Joel Bitonio nearing the end of his career, Zinter is seen as a potential successor, offering depth to an offensive line that struggled with injuries last season. Zinter, eager to return to action, assures he’s fully prepared for the upcoming challenges, including rookie minicamp in May. It’s worth noting the irony that Zinter’s new teammate, Michael Hall Jr., inadvertently caused the injury, completing a circle of sorts for them both.
