Jedrick Wills Jr. Lands On IR, Likely Ending season
The Cleveland Browns have placed left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (foot) on injured reserve. He is now slated to miss at least four games; if he misses the minimum amount of time, he could return for just one game (the Browns' season finale in Baltimore). Most likely, the Browns will just shut Wills down for the season, leaving Germain Ifedi in line to start at left tackle for the final five games. Wills is slated to hit free agency next February.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Wills wasn't able to practice at all this week and as a result he'll miss his third straight game. The former first-round pick has been limited by a knee issue all season long. Wills is set to be a free agent this offseason, so we'll see if he returns to Cleveland. In the meantime, Germain Ifedi is expected to start at left tackle for Monday's game.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) has officially been ruled out for Thursday night's divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi reported the news. The 25-year-old returned to practice on Tuesday after missing Cleveland's Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but he's evidently not healthy enough to suit up for the home tilt on Thursday Night Football. Per Oyefusi, tackle Germain Ifedi is likely to start at left tackle for the Browns. The former first-round pick has battled through a knee injury since having surgery last December but has reportedly been at odds with the team and benched himself in Week 8 when the team lined up against the Baltimore Ravens. He's at least one more week away from suiting up for now.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Tuesday. This is good news after Wills sat out to open the week after missing last week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The fact he was back on the field is a good sign ahead of Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wills hasn't played much this season due to a knee issue and was reportedly benched earlier in the season for not playing through the injury. Wills and the Browns don't seem to be seeing eye-to-eye, which could mean Wills heads elsewhere this offseason with this being his final year on his contract. If he sits Thursday, Germain Ifedi would likely be asked to start at left tackle, which would be a downgrade for this offense.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) is expected to be on the field for the Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Wills missed the beginning of the regular season after having season-ending knee surgery in 2023. He made his return to the field two weeks ago, but re-aggravated his knee issue during that game. The Browns are hopeful that Wills can return to action this weekend. It's uncertain if the team will have Wills limited at all during his first game back. Regardless, Wills making any sort of return is a good sign for this offensive line.
Jedrick Wills Jr., Jack Conklin Ruled Out For Sunday
Cleveland Browns offensive linemen Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) and Jack Conklin (hamstring) have both been ruled for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Mary Kay Cabot. This will be a tough blow for the Cleveland offense, as they will be without two of their starting linemen. Even though the Raiders will be without star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (ankle), they will have a much easier time getting to Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fantasy managers looking to stream a potential defense should consider Las Vegas, as they should be in a position to record a high number of sacks, as Watson has already been sacked 16 times this season.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) is officially active for Week 3 against the New York Giants. He had been sidelined for the team's first two games of the season while recovering from last year's knee surgery. Cleveland will benefit from having Wills available, especially given that right tackle Jack Conklin (hamstring) is inactive. Wills' return is great news for the Browns' offense particularly Deshaun Watson, Jerome Ford, and D'Onta Foreman.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) has been sidelined the first three weeks of the season while he recovers from last year's knee surgery. The good news is that Wills is expected to make his season debut against the New York Giants in Week 3. This is a welcoming sight for the Browns who will be without right tackle Jack Conklin (hamstring) for Sunday's game. It's uncertain whether Wills will start on the right or left side, but Dawand Jones figures to start on the other end. The return of Wills is good news for this Browns o-line and running game.
The Cleveland Browns activated left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday after he cleared his physical. In addition to Wills, right tackle Jack Conklin (knee), cornerback Greg Newsome II (hamstring), defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson (knee) and safety D'Anthony Bell (shin) also came off the PUP list, giving the Browns some much-needed reinforcements with the regular season quickly approaching. Wills, 25, missed all of the preseason after having surgery last December on his knee. Despite all the time missed this summer in the preseason and at training camp, the Browns are expecting Wills to start on quarterback Deshaun Watson's blind side in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. The activation of both Wills and Conklin is great news for Cleveland's offense.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) won't suit up for practice at all this upcoming week. Wills is working his way back from knee surgery last December, but remains without a timetable. He'll end up missing the entire preseason and his status for Week 1 is still uncertain. The Browns have been hit hard by injuries at the tackle spot this preseason. Germain Ifedi (hand) has been starting in place of Wills at left tackle. Ifedi is banged up as well, but he's expected to suit up for their final preseason game. The Browns don't want to rush Wills back to the field, but the absence of the former first-round pick is certainly going to hurt heading into the regular season.
