Overview
- University Hospitals confirmed completing Kosar’s liver transplant on Monday at its Cleveland Medical Center and thanked the donor family under confidentiality rules.
- Kosar posted videos from his hospital bed saying he is feeling good and later told a local station he feels “a thousand percent better than yesterday.”
- Friends said the surgery began around 5 a.m. and wrapped up mid-morning, following a year on the transplant waitlist and a week of urgent procedures for internal bleeding.
- A previously scheduled transplant was postponed after a donor organ tested positive for infection, and Kosar has emphasized preparation and gratitude in his post-op messages.
- Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski offered public support, and Kosar credited the team’s ownership with helping cover medical costs; separate reports naming a donor remain unconfirmed by the hospital.
