When you're one of the best players at your position in the NFL, but you play for the worst team in the league, you need to find creative ways to have fun.
That's precisely the case for offensive tackle, Joe Thomas. Year after year, Thomas is renowned for his performance at the position, and he's been awarded with nine Pro Bowl appearances and six first-team All-Pro honors.
But, year after year, the Browns falter, usually sitting at the bottom of the NFL's standings.
Currently, they're the only winless team left in the NFL. There's not a lot to be happy about on the football front in Cleveland (it's all about the Cavaliers and Indians right now).
So, to keep things light, the veteran Thomas, one of the longest-tenured players in the NFL, decided to make up a hilarious injury report for himself:

The self-depracating comment gave a good chuckle to Browns fans who will use any distraction they can get to not think about the team's overall performance. It was also probably pretty relatable for a number of older fans who have also seen their hairlines recede over the years.
Luckily, I think he'll be able to play through this “injury.”
