Kosar has been in and out of the hospital since he received a liver transplant back in November.

“Trying to get this, get my body here to accept this liver, this new gift, so I can get on to have an awesome, positive 2026,” he said.

Kosar received the liver from a 21-year-old, Bryce Dunlap, who passed away unexpectedly last year.

His family was honored before the Browns’ last home game in December.
