Cleveland Browns face mounting offensive line challenges ahead of Titans matchup
The Cleveland Browns’ struggles continue to deepen as the team grapples with a disappointing 3-9 record. The challenges facing head coach Kevin Stefanski have now intensified, particularly concerning the offensive line. In a recent update, Stefanski disclosed significant injury concerns involving two key players.
Injury Updates on Wyatt Teller and Jack Conklin
Starting right guard Wyatt Teller has been deemed week-to-week due to a calf injury. This development raises serious questions about his availability for the upcoming clash against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. Additionally, right tackle Jack Conklin is currently in concussion protocol, further complicating the Browns’ offensive line situation.
Backup Plans in Motion
In light of these injuries, the Browns are already strategizing potential adjustments. Should Teller and Conklin be unable to take the field, Teven Jenkins is poised to step in at right guard, while KT Leveston is expected to take over at right tackle. This shift would also elevate Cornelius Lucas and Zak Zinter from their positions as weekly inactives to primary backups, unless the team decides to bring in external reinforcements or promotes someone from the practice squad.
The ramifications of these injuries could significantly impact Cleveland’s offensive performance against Tennessee. As the Browns prepare for the matchup, the depth of their roster will be put to the test, and the team’s ability to adapt will be crucial in navigating this challenging period.
