The Cleveland Browns will be without their longtime radio voice for the immediate future after play-by-play man Jim Donovan announced that he is taking a medical leave of absence.
Donovan, who has been the radio voice of the Browns for the past 23 seasons, made the announcement on Sunday following Cleveland’s 24-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Donovan revealed at the end of May that he is battling leukemia for the second time and is now taking time off as part of the next step in his treatment, according to WKYC, the Cleveland news station where he has worked since 1985.
