Medical tests on Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin this week revealed blood clots in his legs and lungs, which will force the veteran to miss the start of training camp, the team announced Friday.
BEREA, OHIO - MAY 31: Marquise Goodwin #19 of the Cleveland Browns catches a pass during the Cleveland Browns OTAs at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on May 31, 2023 in Berea, Ohio.
"It was really alarming at first because I've experienced injury throughout my career, but it's never been anything like this that could turn into something detrimental if it's not taken care of," he told the Browns' team website."It was frightening at first, but now I'm at ease with it." As he alluded to, Goodwin is no stranger to injury setbacks. He missed six games with the Buffalo Bills in 2014 due to ankle, ribs, and hamstring ailments, as well as a concussion. Broken ribs in 2015 cost Goodwin five more games with the Bills. Goodwin landed on injured reserve after nine games in 2019 with the San Francisco 49ers with knee issues. He missed the final two games of the 2022 season with the Seattle Seahawks with a shoulder injury.
Goodwin has 187 receptions for 3,023 yards and 18 touchdowns during his 10-year career. He signed a one-year, $1.7 million deal with the Browns this offseason,Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones return as starters on the outside, with former 2021 second-rounder Elijah Moore likely headed to the slotwith the New York Jets. Cleveland also have 2022 third-rounder David Bell, signed Jakeem Grant this offseason and drafted Cedric Tillman in the third round this spring.
Now, it looks as though Goodwin will be a step behind his peers as the Browns head into training camp ahead of the 2023 season.
