Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor has suffered a torn pectoral muscle that will require surgery next week, head coach Pat Shurmur confirmed on Friday.
"He's going to miss a significant amount of time ... more months than
weeks," Shurmur said via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. "It's too early to speculate how long that will be. It's just
one of those things that happened.
"It's unfortunate. We feel bad for Phil. But he's in good spirits and
he's going to come back from this thing stronger than ever."
Taylor suffered the injury while lifting weights as part of the Browns' off-season workout program and underwent an MRI that revealed the tear.
Selected with the 21st overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the former Baylor standout started all 16 games and totaled 59 tackles and four sacks while playing in nearly 70 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps last season. If Taylor is out for part of the season, 2012 third round pick John Hughes, who signed his four-year contract on Thursday, could start next to Ahtyba Rubin.
