Bernie Kosar Undergoes Additional Procedures as Liver Transplant Is Delayed

Doctors at University Hospitals are performing repeated interventions to control internal bleeding after a donor liver was ruled infected.

Overview

  • Kosar said Friday he has had six procedures since Sunday to address recurrent internal bleeding, with another scheduled the same day.
  • The former Browns quarterback reported his planned transplant over the weekend was postponed because the donor organ tested positive for infection.
  • He remains hospitalized in Cleveland at University Hospitals and has shared video and audio updates from his hospital bed.
  • Kosar asked for prayers and encouraged donations through ShopKosar.com and his wellness fund as he continues treatment.
  • The Browns and former teammates publicly offered support as Kosar, 61, manages cirrhosis and Parkinson’s and remains on the transplant list he joined in 2024.
