The good news for the Cleveland Browns is that starting right tackle Jack Conklin was healthy enough to be active for Thursday night’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The bad news is Conklin isn’t healthy enough to get the start.
Conklin has battled injuries to his ankle and hand all week. He tested the ankle in pregame warm-ups and the decision was made to have Chris Hubbard get the start instead. Conklin played every snap in Week 1.
Hubbard, last year’s starting right tackle, has also been limited in practice all week with an ankle injury. Kendall Lamm is the other reserve tackle.
