Cleveland Browns starting left tackle Dawand Jones exited the game against the Saints during the second quarter.
Jones suffered an ankle injury during the two-minute drill of this game. Jones was injured after a Browns’ offensive lineman fell on his left ankle. Jones was carted off the field with an air cast over his leg.
Jones moved to the left side after Browns’ longtime tackle, Jedrick Wills Jr., suffered a setback from his knee injury. Wills was downgraded to out before the game after his knee injury flared up. Backup swing tackle Germain Ifedi has replaced Jones in the lineup.
Ifedi is a fine backup, but the Browns will need Wills to step back into the starting lineup in the future. Jones’s season is likely over. He has been ruled out for the game.
The Browns need all the help they can get against the Saints. The Browns are currently trailing the Saints 6-14 at the end of the first half.
