BEREA, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – Receiver Jarvis Landry hasn’t missed a game and played through pain through six full seasons, but nothing like this year.
Shortly after he completes his second season with the Browns Sunday in Cincinnati, Landry will see a specialist to determine the best course of action to correct the hip injury that has ailed him this year, which dates to the spring.
“I want to finish the season out,” Landry said.
The extent of what has been bothering Landry had not been known until Thursday.
“Talking to the doctors and the early scans from OTAs and things like that, I began with a fractured sacrum and then from there everything else just kinda started going bad,” Landry explained Thursday.
The sacrum is a large wedge-shaped vertebra at end of the spine that forms the base of the spinal column where it intersects with the hip bones to form the pelvis.
Despite the injury, Landry has led the Browns in catches and yards while being selected to his fifth Pro Bowl this season.
“I’ve always played through injury,” Landry said. “This is probably the longest I’ve had to do it and that’s been the most frustrating part.”
Although the injury has limited Landry, he hasn’t allowed it to keep him off the field.
“I wouldn’t say it’s gotten worse, but it definitely hasn’t gotten better,” Landry said.
