The Browns said Goodwin would miss the start of
training camp this month after a doctor's check-up revealed
blood clots in his lungs and legs. Goodwin had been dealing with
slight shortness of breath and leg discomfort.
"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," Goodwin told the team's website. "It was frightening
at first, but now I'm at ease with it. I've prayed and just
given it over to God. It's out of my control, and the only thing
I can control is my effort and attitude and how I approach each
day moving forward."
Goodwin will still be around the team when camp opens, attending
meetings and being present on the practice field without
participating.
"I'm grateful for that, and hopefully this thing gets back under
control and I can feel my body and what I need to feel so I can
help this team make this run," Goodwin said.
Goodwin, 32, spent last season with the Seattle Seahawks and
caught 27 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games
(two starts).
In nine NFL seasons spent with the Buffalo Bills (2013-16), San
Francisco 49ers (2017-19), Chicago Bears (2021) and Seahawks, he
has 187 career receptions for 3,023 yards and 18 touchdowns.
