The Cleveland Browns veteran offensive lineman is expected to have season-ending surgery on his triceps.

After already being ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the Chargers , it appears that Chris Hubbard will not appear in another game this season. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Hubbard is expected to have season-ending surgery on his triceps.

#Browns OL Chris Hubbard is expected to have season-ending surgery on his triceps, sources say. The injury he tried to play through never quite healed, and this is the best course of action. A hit to OL depth.

This is a big blow to the depth to the Cleveland Browns offensive line. Chris Hubbard is a steady backup option that is able to play multiple spots on the line. Add in the fact that Jedrick Wills is yet to play an entire game and that only makes things that much worse. If Wills is unable to go on Sunday it will be either Blake Hance or James Hudson getting the call.

At the end of the day, it is a good thing that the Browns kept so many offensive linemen on their roster or else they would be facing an even larger problem.
