Cleveland Browns C Luke Wypler goes down with ankle injury against Green Bay

The Browns lost second-year center Luke Wypler to a leg injury at the 11:58 mark of the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Green Bay Packers .

Wypler, right leg in an air cast, was carted off the field after going down on a pass play. Wypler, a 2023 sixth-round draft pick out of Ohio State, was expected to be the team’s backup center. His injury adds to a list of banged up offensive linemen as tackles Jedrick Will and Jack Coughlin are still recovering from knee injuries.

Wypler did not return to the game due to an ankle injury. Coach Kevin Stefanski revealed in his post-game press conference that Wypler will require surgery.

He was replaced by Zack Johnson, who last played for the Birmingham Stallions of the United Football League.
