Jarvis Landry explains struggles during 2021 season, says he played hurt

Jarvis Landry didn’t have a great 2021 season, battling through injuries as the Cleveland Browns failed to make the playoffs.

In 12 games, Landry recorded 52 catches for 570 yards and 2 touchdowns — all career-lows for the 8-year NFL veteran who has spent time with the Browns and the Miami Dolphins.

This week, he took to Twitter to clear the air on what happened this year. As you can see below, he said he played through an MCL sprain, a partial quad tear and a bone bruise. He adds that he would like to stay in Cleveland, but the ball is in their court:

1/2 Reality behind all this is I came back to play in the best shape of my life, I got hurt week 2 with a high grade MCL Sprain,Partial quad tear and bone bruise. Then came back way to early and ended up staying hurt the entire season. You never heard me mention anything about it

2/3 Also my media availability didn’t happen because I was focused on getting on the field as healthy as possible during the week and after games.. a strategic plan was set in place to be followed. I put the ball in CLE court by telling them I would like to stay but if not then

3/3 I have put the ball in CLE court by telling them I would like to stay but if not then I’m confident enough in myself to be a better healthy me this year and moving forward to helping do my part in winning a championship elsewhere.

We’ll see what happens with Landry in 2022. He’s not scheduled to be a free agent, but the Browns could explore the trade market for the talented former LSU star.
