Browns’ plan at offensive tackle becomes clearer, more complicated

The Browns will be starting Jack Conklin at left tackle.

While left tackle Jedrick Wills has returned to the practice field for the Cleveland Browns as they prepare for the Dallas Cowboys, it has only made their tackle situation a little bit clearer.

Listed as the starting left tackle on the depth chart, Wills has not practiced all summer up until Wednesday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski left the door open for him to play against the Cowboys, stating, “Let’s get through today.” However, Wills himself has confirmed he will not be starting on Sunday afternoon as the Browns take on the Cowboys.

This, however, does not completely make the offensive tackle situation on Sunday clear. While Wills will not start, meaning Jack Conklin will start at left tackle with Dawand Jones at right tackle, he did not close the door on playing.

Could the Browns be open to a rotation on Sunday as they continue to figure out the best duo of tackles to play this season? This would be unusual for a team to do in the regular season and could disrupt any flow.

Regardless, Wills may still see snaps on Sunday against the Cowboys despite not getting the starting nod after missing all summer after a Week 9 knee surgery a year ago.
