Browns OT Dawand Jones Undergoes Knee Surgery, Expected for Camp

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Dawand Jones recently underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to address a lingering issue he experienced during the 2024 season. The fourth-round pick from Ohio State had previously suffered a fractured fibula that sidelined him for the final seven games of the season. Jones had made a transition to left tackle, starting three games there before his injury, after previously starting nine games at right tackle during his rookie year. Despite struggling with injuries, including a torn MCL earlier in the season, he is expected to be ready for training camp in late July. The surgery aims to ensure he can recover fully and step in as the Browns' starting left tackle, especially with Jedrick Wills Jr. becoming a free agent. Jones's ability to stay in shape and manage his weight during recovery will be critical for his performance moving forward.
