CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar shared on social media Saturday morning that he is back in the hospital for another procedure.
While he did not specify what procedure he was undergoing, he did say in a video on Facebook, “Going a little to hard. Found my way back into the hospital. Lets get this procedure over with and have a winning day. See you next week. UMatter.”
In summer 2024, Kosar was diagnosed with liver failure and Parkinson’s disease.
The update comes months after Kosar’s liver transplant back on Nov. 17, 2025. Since then, Kosar has experienced a series of complications and hospital readmissions, including E. coli blood poisoning in December 2025.

Kosar publicly thanked Dunlap’s family on his Facebook page and called the transplant “great gift.”
The legendary quarterback also made an appearance Thursday at the groundbreaking for the new Cleveland Browns stadium in Brook Park, calling it a, “big night to be apart of” on his social media.
