There was optimism that the Cleveland Browns would get offensive tackle Jack Conklin back on the field this week.
After James Hudson III has started the first two games of the season with varied results, it looked like the Browns were finally getting healthy. Conklin practiced all week, was given a questionable gameday designation, and looked like he was trending in the right direction to play.
Instead, however, Conklin has now been downgraded to out with a late hamstring injury.
There is a positive assumption about the other offensive tackle who has yet to play this season, however. The Browns listed Jedrick Wills as questionable entering the game as well. However, assigning their gameday elevations, offensive tackle Germain Ifedi was not one of them.
Ifedi had been elevated the past two weeks with both Conklin and Wills out. This may mean that Wills is set to make his season debut. Conklin, however, is back on the shelf.
