According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns center will miss the rest of the season due to a broken fibula.

Mack is continuing to undergo tests to determined the extent of the injury, which might include some ligament damage, the source said.
But Mack is expected to make a full recovery and should be 100 percent for the 2015 season, the source said.”
Mack is expected to make a full recovery and rejoin the Browns next season, but this is a huge blow to a Cleveland team that was trending upward. Coach Mike Pettine said he and general manager Ray Farmer will sit down soon and hammer out where the Browns look next at center.
