Browns Struggle as Key Players Sidelined by Injuries

The Cleveland Browns face challenges as key players are sidelined due to injuries. Left tackle Dawand Jones is out for the season with a fractured fibula after being injured during a game against the New Orleans Saints, where he was carted off with his leg in an air cast. With Jedrick Wills also dealing with a knee injury, Germain Ifedi steps up as the primary backup for the tackle position. Additionally, rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. sustained a knee injury during practice and will miss upcoming games, adding to the Browns' defensive line concerns after trading Za'Darius Smith. Hall's absence is significant as he was expected to contribute more, especially following Smith's departure. Despite these setbacks, the Browns aim to regroup and address these gaps for future games.
