Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Browns C Alex Mack is believed to have suffered a “significant” lower-leg injury.
- According to Rapoport, Mack is expected to miss “extended” time due to this injury.
Mack was carted off the field with a left-ankle injury during Cleveland’s Week 6 game against the Steelers, so it appears all along that this was a major injury.
Cleveland was forced to bring in veteran OL Paul McQuistan to replace Mack, but we’ll have to see what their plan is moving forward.
Mack, 28, is in the first year of his five-year, $42 million contract that included $26 million guaranteed. His base salary for the 2014 season is $10 million.
