Browns' Jack Conklin: Questionable versus Jacksonville
Rotowire
Conklin (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Conklin was limited all last week before missing the Week 1 opener versus Dallas. He was limited again ahead of Jacksonville and is questionable for the second straight week. If Conklin can't go and with Jedrick Wills (knee) already out, the Browns could again trot out James Hudson and Dawand Jones at the tackle spots.

Browns' Jack Conklin: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Conklin (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin has practiced in a limited fashion as of late, but he wasn't able to suit up Week 1 for the Browns. The starting right tackle is nearing the end of his recovery from an ACL tear suffered in Cleveland's regular-season opener last year. In the event that Conklin isn't able to return versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Dawand Jones should draw another start.

Rotowire
Conklin (knee) will not play Sunday against the Cowboys, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Conklin was a limited participant in all three practices this week, but he will have to wait to make his regular-season debut until Week 2 against the Jaguars. The 2016 first-round pick is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL from Week 1 last season. Dawand Jones, the 2023 fourth-round draft pick, will start at right tackle Sunday in place of Conklin, per Easterling.

Conklin (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Conklin has spent the past year recovering from a torn ACL, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he has a chance to suit up Sunday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Friday that both Conklin and James Hudson are options to start in place of the injured Jedrick Wills (knee) in Week 1, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. If Conklin is able to play Sunday, he could start at either right or left tackle.

Cleveland placed Conklin (knee) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
As expected, Conklin will spend the remainder of the 2023 season on the injured reserve list after sustaining a ruptured ACL on Sunday. His absence represents a major loss for Cleveland's offense, who will now likely have to rely on fourth-round rookie Dawand Jones to start at right tackle for the foreseeable future.
