Browns Place Jedrick Wills on Injured Reserve

Cleveland Browns Starting Left Tackle Suffers Ankle Injury

The Cleveland Browns have announced that starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. will be placed on injured reserve. Wills suffered an ankle injury in the Browns' 20-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and he will be forced to miss at least four games as a result.

This is a big blow to the Browns' offensive line, as Wills is one of their best players. He was the Browns' first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he has started every game at left tackle since then.

How Wills' Injury Will Affect the Browns

Wills' injury will force the Browns to make some changes to their offensive line. Rookie James Hudson III, who started at right tackle in place of the injured Jack Conklin, will move to left tackle.

Chris Hubbard, who was signed as a free agent earlier this season, will start at right tackle. Hubbard has started 60 games in his NFL career, so he has plenty of experience.

The Browns are also expected to sign a veteran offensive lineman in the coming days to provide depth. The team is reportedly interested in free agents Eric Fisher and Duane Brown.

How Long Will Wills Be Out?

Wills is expected to miss at least four games while he recovers from his ankle injury. The Browns will have to face the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals without their starting left tackle.

Wills could return to the lineup as early as Week 7, but it is also possible that he will miss more time. The Browns will have to wait and see how quickly Wills recovers from his injury.

Conclusion

The Browns' starting left tackle, Jedrick Wills Jr., will be placed on injured reserve after injuring his ankle in the team's loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

The Browns will have to make some changes to their offensive line in Wills' absence, and they are expected to sign a veteran offensive lineman in the coming days to provide depth.

The Browns will face the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals without Wills, and they will need to find a way to replace his production in order to win those games.
