Wills (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wills was able to return to the Browns' Week 9 contest after dealing with a knee issue earlier in the game, but he was later carted off the field with a second knee injury after getting rolled up on by Kareem Hunt. James Hudson projects to step into Wills' spot on Cleveland's offensive line, and the team will be without both of its starting tackles going forward.

Rotowire
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Wills (knee) will be placed on Cleveland's injured reserve list, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Wills sustained a high-grade MCL sprain, a low-grade PCL sprain and bone bruises during Sunday's game versus Arizona. Once he's moved to the injured reserve list, he'll become ineligible to play in the Browns' next four games, and he could sit out even longer than that. In the meantime, 2021 fourth-rounder James Hudson is expected to take over as the starter at left tackle.

Rotowire
The Browns exercised Wills' fifth-year team option for 2024 on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Wills is entering his fourth season with Cleveland after the Browns selected him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The left tackle went down with a knee injury in early January, though the issue doesn't look to be anything that will endanger his availability for the start of the 2023 season. He'll take home a guaranteed salary of $14.18 million in 2024 after having his fifth-year option picked up.
