The Cleveland Browns completely revamped their secondary this offseason, and some fans wondered where that would leave cornerback Howard Wilson as part of the rotation. A fourth-round pick in 2017, he missed the entire season after suffering a broken kneecap during rookie minicamp.
On Tuesday, his 2018 season came to an end when the team announced he had surgery this morning to repair that left patellar tendon he tore a year ago. Why did he wait so long for the surgery? The only presumption one can make is that they hoped it would heal naturally.
