Brown's wife Kayla posted on Facebook that her husband received multiple surgeries in Germany before he traveled to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Friday for another surgery.
She said Rocky would stay in Germany for another week or two before returning to America to finish his rehab. Rocky was doing much better, she said, as his wound vac had been removed and "he can move around a little easier now."
