Browns DT Phil Taylor Out 4-6 Months With Torn Pectoral Muscle

The Cleveland Browns have confirmed that DT Phil Taylor has indeed suffered a torn pectoral muscle while he was lifting weights on Thursday.

Thankfully for Taylor, the injury took place in May which means that he should be able to return to the team at some point during the season. The timetable that’s being passed around for this type of injury is 4-6 months, so you’d have to think that he’ll end up on PUP list to start the season.

Cleveland will have to get creative now that Taylor’s lost for an extended period of time.
