Ethan Pocic - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on injured reserve The Browns placed Pocic (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Pocic suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in last Sunday's loss to the Titans. The center becomes a free agent this offseason, so an Achilles tendon rupture, which will have him on the mend for nine months, is a serious blow to potential contract negotiations. Luke Wypler will likely finish out the season as the Browns' starting center.

Injury ends season Pocic will miss the rest of the season after suffering a ruptured Achilles' tendon during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Atheltic reports.

Impact Pocic will be replaced by Luke Wypler the rest of the way. The former's absence ensures the Browns will have their ninth different starting offensive line combination when they face the Bears in Week 15. Pocic will become a free agent this coming offseason.
