With left tackle Jedrick Wills missing his last two days of practice, the Cleveland Browns are preparing second-year player Dawand Jones to start at left tackle against the Baltimore Ravens.
With right tackle Jack Conklin back from injury, the Browns had benched Jones after an abysmal start to his sophomore season. Jones did play against the Cincinnati Bengals a week ago, however, as Conklin left the game. If Wills cannot go, it will be Jones and Conklin manning the tackle posts.
The issue then lies at who will come on the field if either Jones or Conklin go down with an injury as they both have missed time this year after returning from season-enders one year ago. The usual swing tackle, James Hudson III, is already on Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury.
If Wills is out and Jones starts, that leaves Germain Ifedi as the swing tackle in this game against the juggernaut Ravens.
I mean, it could not get any worse right?
