Jedrick

Wills Jr.

This marks Conklin’s first practice in nearly two weeks. The veteran tackle last practiced ahead of the Browns’ Week 3 matchup against the Giants but has yet to suit up for a game. We’ll see if he’s able to play in Week 5 against the Commanders, but things remain very wait-and-see with him as of right now. In addition to Conklin, Jedrick Wills (knee), Ethan Pocic (ankle), and Myles Garrett (Achilles) also returned to practice, although Garrett will probably see light practices weeks going forward given the nature of his injuries.

T Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) and C Ethan Pocic (ankle) likewise were unable to practice. The Browns’ injury-ruined offensive line has allowed a league-high 66 QB pressures through four games. The protection issues appear likely to continue, given Wednesday’s injury report.

Wills played on 40 of a possible 67 snaps in his return from injury last week against the Giants. Unfortunately, he reaggravated his knee injury and will now miss Week 4, despite the MRI on his knee showing no significant damage. In addition to Wills, the Browns will also be without Jack Conklin, who has yet to play in a game this season despite being activated from the PUP list at the end of training camp.

According to Fowler, Wills is rehabbing this week but didn’t sustain any “major damage” in the game. Wills played on 40 of the Browns’ 67 offensive snaps last week before going down and has not practiced this week. It seems unlikely he’ll play in Week 4 against the Raiders, but we’ll know for sure once the Browns release their final injury report on Friday.

Wills missed the first three weeks of the year while working his way back from the season-ending knee injury he suffered last year. Fellow offensive lineman Jack Conklin has been ruled out with a hamstring issue, putting Wills in line to start at left tackle. Dawand Jones will continue to start on the right side.

Fellow tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) is also questionable. Conklin is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered early in the 2023 season. He practiced in full throughout the week, giving him a good shot at suiting up on Sunday. He would likely start at left tackle with Dawand Jones staying on the right side of the line.

Conklin has yet to play this year but appears ready to return from the torn ACL he suffered at the beginning of the 2023 season. Left tackle Jedrick Wills, who has also missed both games this year, was limited in practice. Getting both tackles back would be a massive win for Deshaun Watson.

Watson again played poorly and looked out of sorts as a passer, throwing off base on more than one occasion. The Browns’ backup offensive line injuries continue to plague the offense as a whole, allowing a Week 2-high 22 quarterback pressures thus far. Watson’s poor play is unlikely to improve but T Jack Conklin (knee) and T Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) could return in the next week or two. The Giants’ pass rush keeps Watson in the low-end QB2 ranks for next week.

Conklin was listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week. His surgically repaired knee evidently needs more time though. Backup T James Hudson III will start in his stead. Wills Jr. (knee) and Njoku were ruled out earlier in the week. Thompson-Robinson serves as the emergency QB.

Wills returned to practice on Thursday but is still at least a week away from playing. Right tackle Jack Conklin is listed as questionable because of a knee issue. Conklin played in Week 1 and practiced throughout the week, so he should be able to suit up. As expected, David Njoku was ruled out.
