Cleveland Browns general manager Tom Heckert told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer on Monday that defensive tackle Phil Taylor will play in 2012 despite the fact that he’ll undergo surgery to repair a torn pec on Wednesday.
“Oh, 100 percent, yeah,” Heckert said before his keynote address at the Akron Browns Backers Banquet at Tangier Restaurant. “I don’t think there’s any question about that. We think he’ll probably be [ready] end of October, early November, but he’ll definitely be back, no doubt, no question about it.”
Heckert says that a torn pec usually takes four to six months to heal.
