Browns’ Pinkston Hospitalized with Blood Clot

Cleveland Browns second-year guard Jason Pinkston is in the hospital with a blood clot according to the team.

Pinkston missed the first snaps in his career last Sunday with what the Browns termed ‘an illness.’ He hadn’t practiced this week, and will be replaced by John Greco in the starting line-up.

No further details have been given.

    Greco filled in well last week, here’s hoping that first Pinkston is okay and second Greco continues to do well.

    Wow. Good thing they caught that when they did. It could have been very, very bad. Hope he’s okay.

    get well soon Todd! Glad they found the clot before anything terrible happened.

    I’m pretty confident in John Greco.

    Or I’m just drunk on the idea of winning two in a row
