Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell will undergo surgery for a dislocated hip and will miss the remainder of the season, coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday.
Bell, 23, was carted off the field early in the second half of Sunday’s 18-13 victory at Jacksonville. Trainers attended Bell on the field after he was tackled from behind by Arik Armstead following a 6-yard catch.
“Feel badly for David, but he will bounce back,” Stefanski said.
Bell finished his first game of the season with three catches for 27 yards.
A third-round pick in 2022, Bell has 41 receptions for 408 yards and three touchdowns in 32 games (six starts), while in his third season.
Stefanski also announced that running back Pierre Strong is week-to-week with a hamstring injury and defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo has cleared concussion protocol.
The Browns (1-1) host the New York Giants (0-2) on Sunday.
