Late yesterday evening, Joe Linta, agent for former Browns guard Joe Andruzzi, revealed that his client had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and would immediately begin chemotherapy.
Today, the Browns released the following statement regarding Andruzzi:
"The Cleveland Browns are aware of Joe’s situation and will continue to support him and his family in their time of need. While in Cleveland, Joe’s leadership and strength were enormous both on the field and in the locker room. If anyone can fight through this, it is Joe."
Andruzzi was signed by the Browns in 2005 and started 27 games before being released earlier this month.
