The Browns have to regroup at the tackle position.
Browns LT Jed Wills Jr. not cleared to practice this week, and return date uncertain; 2 of the 3 tackles hurt vs. Vikings also sidelinedCLEVELAND, Ohio -- The long-awaited return of Browns starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. to practice will have to wait at least another week.
To make matters worse, the Browns lost three offensive tackles during Saturday’s 27-12 loss to the Vikings in the second preseason game, and only one of them, Germain Ifedi, will be available this week after suffering a hand injury. Hudson hobbled out in a left walking boot, and has been ruled out for this game, but Stefanski said he’ll be back soon.
“I’m disappointed for ,” Stefanski said. “I will highlight his effort on that play, it was unbelievable running down and those are types of things I thought you can teach off of those moments with your players. His effort was unbelievable. Snoop Huntley throws an interception, is extremely disappointed. His helmet comes flying off, he runs, grabs his helmet, puts it back on and runs the defender down.
With the Browns lengthy injury list at the position — including right tackle Jack Conklin who can start on the left side if needed — the Browns currently have Ifedi and undrafted rookie Lorenzo Thompson to start at tackle in Seattle. But as of Sunday afternoon, that wasn’t daunting enough for Stefanski to scratch Watson from the game. If he follows his script from last year, Watson will play about a quarter.
