Bernie Kosar Drops Fresh Update After Browns Legend Hospitalized Yet Again
Bernie Kosar is in the hospital once again. And while he dropped an update, it wasn't about his health. It was about football.
Just a day after being hospitalized, Kosar took to X to cheer for his old team.
"Seasons are short. Everyone chases the win, but it’s everything in between that reminds you how hard it is to get there. Looking forward to tonight’s game. U Matter. Go Canes."
Kosar also posted a clip from the 1984 Orange Bowl, where Miami and Nebraska faced off with the national title on the line. The Canes won that one 31-30 by stopping a go-for-two attempt that would have tied the game, and Kosar was the Canes' QB!
The Canes faced the Ole Miss Rebels today and won the game (31-27) with a comeback in the fourth quarter. They have now once again advanced to the CFP National Championship Game.
It was a small relief for Hosar, as he battles health issues.
Bernie Kosar was aware of risks
In 2024, Kosar was diagnosed with liver failure (cirrhosis) and Parkinson’s disease. He had undergone a liver transplant on November 17, 2025, after spending over a year on the waiting list due to liver failure.
"My body's having a small rejection right now of the liver. So I'm back in here, getting IV'd up and trying to get my body here to accept this new liver and this new gift..." he said.
His doctors prepared him for potential complications during the critical first 90 days and six months following surgery.
"These are not at all rare type things. These types of bumps in the road, infections, type of minor rejections, unfortunately, I'm figuring out, are very typical when you go through things like this," he said. We hope he gets well soon.
