"Cleveland Browns starting offensive tackle Dawand Jones suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers that will require surgery, coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday. Jones suffered the injury on the fourth play from scrimmage after a defender dove into his legs. Stefanski said the team would turn in the play to the NFL for review. League rules prohibit defenders from initiating a block below the waist against an offensive player who is outside the tight end box."
"It's the third consecutive season that Jones, a 2023 fourth-round pick, has suffered a season-ending injury. Jones sustained a season-ending MCL injury in December 2023 during his rookie year. Last season, he suffered a fracture to his left leg that sidelined him for the final 10 games."
Dawand Jones suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery. The injury happened on the fourth play when a defender dove into his legs; the Browns will submit the play to the NFL for review under rules banning below-the-waist blocks on players outside the tight end box. This is Jones' third consecutive season-ending injury after a December 2023 MCL tear and a left-leg fracture last season. Jones had started 24 games and moved from left to right tackle in Week 3. KT Leveston filled in while the team evaluates line options; Jack Conklin is day-to-day with an elbow issue.
