The Cleveland Browns will be without their second-leading receiver for the remainder of the 2014 season.
The team announced Wednesday veteran wide receiver Miles Austin has been placed on injured reserve after being hospitalized with a kidney ailment Sunday night.
“Miles sustained a kidney injury in Buffalo and remains in the hospital,” coach Mike Pettine explained. “Our thoughts are with him and we wish him a speedy recovery. Miles is a guy who embodies what ‘Play like a Brown’ means and instills that in our receiving corps.”
Austin finishes this season with 568 yards and two touchdowns on 47 receptions.
