Jedrick Wills Benched for Cowboys Clash

Jedrick Wills announces he will not be starting in the upcoming game against the Cowboys due to a recent setback.

It’s a glimmer of hope for the Cleveland Browns as left tackle Jedrick Wills made a noteworthy return to the practice field on Wednesday! But hold your horses, folks, he won’t be the first one busting out of the huddle when Cleveland locks horns with Dallas this weekend.

Wills Still on the Comeback Trail

“I’m not starting this week,” Wills admitted with candid honesty on Wednesday, speaking via Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. “I’m just going out there for individual [drills]. Just seeing how it feels and get back into things.”

Wills, valiantly recovering from a serious MCL surgery, epitomizes the spirit of a gladiator returning to the arena. While head coach Kevin Stefanski hinted at a potential play, it seems Wills might only see rotational snaps if he takes the field at all.

All Eyes on Conklin

This intriguing scenario opens the door for Jack Conklin to step up to the plate—or rather, the line of scrimmage—at left tackle. Conklin, also coming off a significant knee surgery, has predominantly been a right-side enforcer since he burst onto the NFL stage. But the man’s got history and is no stranger to flipping sides.

“You know, it’s different, but I did it in college,” Conklin shared. “It’s definitely just getting the mentality of mostly just verbiage. The thought of everything one way and it’s just flipping it in your head. So, again, maybe it’s just a little second more thought when I hear the play just to make sure I’m thinking of it as out the left side compared to the right.”

Picture it: Conklin, eyes locked in, muscles coiled like a jaguar ready to pounce, as he braces himself for the transition. That extra beat of thought? It’s all part of the game, folks! Adjusting from the right side to the left is like trying to write an essay with your non-dominant hand—awkward at first, but possible with practice.

Wednesday’s Practice Report

Conklin’s determination was evident on Cleveland’s Wednesday injury report, where he was listed as limited. The Browns are in a tight spot, but with warriors like Wills and Conklin, there’s a fighting chance. Let’s see how the cards play out when the Browns face the Cowboys with grit and gusto! Stay tuned, NFL fans. It’s going to be a showdown!
