Corey Coleman needs surgery on broken hand

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman is set to miss significant time with his broken hand requiring surgery.

A source confirmed to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com that Coleman has a fracture in his right hand that will require surgery, unlike the injury he suffered last season.

Last year, #Browns Corey Coleman was able to let the broken rt hand heal w/out surgery and missed 6 games. This time, he wasn't that lucky

Coach Hue Jackson could not confirm a recovery timetable, but it figures to be longer than the six weeks Coleman needed last year.

#Browns Hue Jackson said until Corey Coleman has the surgery, he won't know how long he'll be out.
