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.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday, and he is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season. He was placed on Injured Reserve on November 7, but the Browns initially hoped he could return. This is a huge blow for Cleveland, especially since right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) and backup right tackle Dawand Jones (knee) are also out for the season with knee injuries. Geron Christian and James Hudson III must step up for the injured tackles in order to keep veteran quarterback Joe Flacco upright.
Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) was carted off the field while wearing an air cast during the second half of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. He will not return. This appears to be a severe injury for the 24-year-old, and a long-term absence of any variety would be a crushing blow for Cleveland, considering Wills hadn't missed a play through the first seven-plus games of the season. Veteran lineman James Hudson III should earn more snaps in Wills' absence.
Jedrick Wills Expected To Return, Jack Conklin Out Thursday
Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle) is expected to return on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos, but right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) will not be able to play, according to sources. The return of Wills is good news for backup quarterback Case Keenum, who is taking over for the injured Baker Mayfield (shoulder) in Week 7. Conklin's absence could be a big one, though, as Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller rushes from the left side on the right tackle. Miller could be going up against either James Hudson or Blake Hence, and the Browns offense will have their work cut out for them, as they'll also be missing running backs Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf), and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) is facing an uphill battle to play.
Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. (ankle) will miss Sunday's matchup vs. the Chargers due to an ankle injury. The move is another blow to the Cleveland offensive line, as either Blake Hance or James Hudson will be tasked with making their first career start to protect Baker Mayfield's blindside. How much the loss of Willis affects the Browns' dynamic backfield duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt remains to be seen, but Chubb has been able to amass at least 83 yards on the ground in each of the first four games of the 2021 season. Willis' next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 6 against a similarly sack-focused defense in Arizona.
