Cleveland Browns wide receiver decided to undergo hip surgery this month after dealing with pain in the area throughout the 2019 NFL season, a procedure that both he and the team hope that leads him to an even more productive 2020.

The former Miami Dolphin, who was considered to be the second half of a perfect one-two punch with Odell Beckham Jr. heading into the 2019 season, held up his end of the bargain last year, catching 83 passes for 1,174 yards and 6 touchdowns.

In fact, due to a lack of production from Beckham that was largely related to injuries, he remained the team’s most productive wideout.

He was able to put up big numbers in a disappointing 2019 season for the Browns despite the dysfunction in the team and his hip injury. He was named a Pro Bowler for the fifth consecutive season and reportedly realized that he needed the surgery after undergoing more severe pain during this exhibition game.

Landry is expected to be ready to go for the beginning of the 2020 season despite going under the knife. The team expects him to be ready for Training Camp, which is set to begin in late July.
