calfoxwc Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Conklin may retire. His injury list is getting to be too long. His knee structure is taking a hit - I think the damage is accumulative. In 2018, with the Titans, Conklin recovered from an ACL tear in Jan. Had a concussion some weeks later, and in week 14 he suffered another knee injury. In 2021, week 12, he suffered another knee injury. He tore his pattelar tendon. Now this injury - I'm getting my second artificial knee in about two weeks - He's a great player, but how long he will decide to keep playing in pain - but then, 7 years ago, my surgeon said my left knee was going to need to be replaced too, and I waited this long again.....

SdBacker80 Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Do we give Jason turnstile Peters a call or some other viable vet? we have leatherwood and Hudson but neither invoke confidence should Wills or Jones go down.

It can't hurt to give the turnstile a call. Run it! Rumor has it - he ran a 40 yard dash yesterday and he's almost done with it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though reviewing the injury, it was sort of a freak hit. I'm no expert on the cap ramifications, but checking Spotrac, I have to wonder how much of Jack's guaranteed money we'd still have to eat. & we saw it in preseason Dawand Jones is a keeper, played well yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we probably look towards Leatherwood as a back-up. If Wills gets hurt, probably switch Jones to LT . We played Bitonio at LT a few years ago. Maybe we do that.

We shall see Cal... The Steelers have some tape on him now. Expect Pittsburgh to test him early and often speed rushing TJ Watt. Regarding those "quick feet". I literally laughed when "slug" Orlando Brown Jr. got drafted in the third round. Couldn't forget that 50 year old Rick Eisen came within a foot of beating him in the forty running in a suit and tennis shoes. Orlando to my great surprise- has turned out pretty good- we can only hope Dawand turns out similarly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/browns-sign-veteran-offensive-tackle Looks like the Brownies signed a vet OT, Ty Nsehke.

gumby73 Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 The Browns officially made five moves on their roster Tuesday: Placed Jack Conklin on IR Signed Ty Nsekhe to the *practice squad* Signed OL **Michael Dunn to the active, 53-man roster (played Bitonio's (covid) guard position at Pittsburgh in Wildcard win) Signed DT Tommy Togiai to the practice squad (Togi Back ! Released from Jags PS) Released CB Lorenzo Burns from the practice squad Jed Will's had a x-ray after week 1. (watch for injury list Weds.) James Hudson couldn't block TJ Watt in past years matchups in Pittsburgh (4 sacks) Dawand Jones--James Hudson--Joel Bitonio if we got too.... play to win browns! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how you look at it, we would be weakening 2 positions rather than one. That was the prevailing argument the last time the “move Bitonio to Tackle” idea surfaced. Seemed like a few years ago, maybe on the heels of Joe Thomas’ retirement? I actually thought he looked pretty good out there, but l get the argument about weakening 2 positions.

ballpeen Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Joel played the position and did a good job. I am only looking at that as a possibility if Wills or Dewand get hurt. Dunn has done a good job at guard. I don't see him as being weak at that position. We drafted Hudson, but am not sure he is going to be all that good. Marginal is my thinking. We might need to think about drafting a few OTs over the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
