Browns injury update: Jack Conklin back but limited, Olivier Vernon still out

Conklin said he’ll be 100% by Sunday

There was some good news and optimistic vibes coming from the Cleveland Browns team practice in Berea on Wednesday. Starting right tackle Jack Conklin was back at practice. And while his official status for the day’s session was limited, Conklin is confident he will play Sunday against the visiting Football Team.

“(The) ankle’s feeling great,” Conklin said on his Zoom call before practice.  “I’ll be back to 100% this week, rolling.”

Conklin was among several Browns who were limited participants on Wednesday. He was joined by:

  • CB Kevin Johnson
  • C JC Tretter
  • CB Greedy Williams
  • LB Mack Wilson

Three Browns sat out completely: LB Jacob Phillips and DEs Adrian Clayborn and Olivier Vernon. Phillips and Vernon missed the Week 2 win over Cincinnati, while Clayborn left in the first half and has not returned to action since.
