Ryan Tucker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ryan Tucker (born June 12, 1975 in Midland, Texas) is an American football player who currently plays offensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns. He was the starting center during the last two seasons at Texas Christian University after moving from left tackle and was a two-time All-Conference selection. He was drafted in the 1997 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams and played in Super Bowl XXXVI. On December 1, 2006, the Browns announced that Tucker will miss the remainder of the season with an undisclosed mental disorder. "It is a treatable disorder. Ryan has been battling this condition since before the season began, and has been actively receiving treatment. At this time, it is in his best interest to focus entirely on his medical treatment and concentrate on his recovery," team physician Anthony Miniaci said in a statement.
