The Cleveland Browns continue to wait out the injuries suffered by their current left tackles, leaving them uncertain that any of them will certainly be ready for Week 1. However, general manager Andrew Berry always is open to improving the roster if able to. There are still players available with the potential to make an impact on a team in the 2024 season. One of those players is former New York Giants offensive tackle Tyre Phillips.
The former 2020 third round pick has done his fair share of traveling since joining the NFL, having three different teams in four seasons. Throughout his career thus far, he has managed to start 27 games, having some much-needed experience blocking some of the NFL’s best defenders. He also managed to only give up two sacks and only committed three penalties in the 552 offensive snaps he played last season. Not many players currently have the experienced resume that Phillips could provide.
Suffering a season-ending quad injury in Week 17 a year ago, Phillips is now ready to roll:

If the Browns continue to approach Week 1 uncertain about the health of their left tackles, Phillips could be a quality signing for this team. This signing would allow Browns starting left tackle Jedrick Wills to approach the season carefully and allow him time to return fully healthy when ready. We will continue to monitor the offensive tackle situation as well as Phillips’ active status in free agency.
