Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, a beloved sports figure in the city, has undergone ‘aggressive procedures’ to address internal bleeding as he awaits a liver transplant. The 61-year-old shared on social media that he had two procedures and was scheduled for a third on Wednesday. Kosar’s liver transplant, initially set for last weekend, was delayed due to an infected donor organ.
Kosar, who has been open about his health struggles, recorded an update from his hospital bed at University Hospitals in Cleveland. He asked for support from fans, stating, ‘I could really use your love, support, and actual prayers today.’ The former quarterback’s health issues have been a cause for concern among Browns fans and the wider sports community.
The Cleveland Browns organization released a statement expressing their support for Kosar during this challenging time. The team said, ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Bernie. We love you and are with you every step of the way. If anyone can stay strong through this, it’s you.’ Kosar’s health battle comes as the Browns are preparing for their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
