Cleveland Browns wide receiver Nate Burleson has fractured his left arm during organized team workouts, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

Burleson injured the same arm in a car accident last season with the Detroit Lions, forcing him to miss 7 games. He is expected to recover in time for training camp from his most recent set back

The Browns signed the wide receiver as a free agent this offseason to a one year contract. The team found out their top receiver Josh Gordon would likely miss all of the 2014 season after failing a drug test for the third time in his career.
