ESPN: Browns Head coach Kevin Stefanski provided a worrying update on an offensive starter as they get ready for this game.
For the Cleveland Browns and their supporters, the season has been quite busy. They’ve struggled with inconsistent play at several crucial positions and even lost quarterback Deshaun Watson due to an Achilles tear.
The Browns just defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 on Thursday night football in Week 12 despite all of these things. In Week 13, they play the Denver Broncos in another primetime matchup on Monday Night Football.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski provided a worrying update on an offensive starter as they get ready for this game.
Jed Wills of the Browns is coping with a knee injury.
Stefanski disclosed that Wills is “still working through” a persistent knee problem in an interview with club media on Wednesday.
Now that Dawand Jones is out for the season due to an ankle injury, the Browns need Wills more than ever.
As a result of his recent ‘business choice’ remarks, Wills has had a mixed season.
In any case, he must continue to play for the Browns. Wills has been battling this knee problem for the previous two seasons, despite starting four games this season. This season has been affected by the arthroscopic knee surgery he had last season.
He has given up 11 pressures, three sacks, and seven penalties in 245 offensive snaps this season. Furthermore, he received an overall rating of 52.9 from PFF.
Although the 25-year-old hasn’t had the finest season, he is still their best left tackle option. This isn’t ideal for the Browns, but we’ll need to closely monitor the injury list before the game. Germain Ifedi is probably going to start if he is unable to go.
