Browns LT Dawand Jones sustains left ankle injury, ruled out for the game
u/alex •
Browns left tackle Dawand Jones suffers ankle injury, ruled out for the game.
Why it matters: The injury to Dawand Jones leaves the Cleveland Browns without their starting left tackle and further tests the team's depth on the offensive line.
What's new: Jones suffered a left ankle injury during the game against the New Orleans Saints and had to be carted off the field. An air cast was placed on his left leg before he was taken away.
Yes, but: This is not the first time Jones has dealt with injuries this season. He previously suffered a season-ending MCL injury after starting nine games at right tackle.
What to watch: With Jedrick Wills Jr. inactive due to a knee injury, the Browns had to rely on Germain Ifedi to replace Jones at left tackle during the game. It remains to be seen how the reshuffled offensive line will perform in future games.
The bottom line: Injuries to key players can significantly impact a team's performance, and the loss of Dawand Jones adds to the challenges faced by the Cleveland Browns' offensive line. The team will need to quickly adjust and find suitable replacements to maintain their level of play.
