Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin suffered a devastating left knee injury during their season-opening win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, September 11, 2023.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport said the 29-year-old will undergo an MRI to confirm the extent of the injury, but there is a possibility that he will be out for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season.
Meanwhile, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski added a gloomy update on the condition of the former Michigan State player.
"You hope, but it doesn't look good. I feel absolutely awful for Jack. The person that he is, the player that he is and what he means to this team.. He's such a big part of what we are. We'll hold out hope there," Stefanski said via Kelsey Russo of The Athletic.
Fourth-round pick rookie Dawand Jones replaced Conklin in the game after he was carted off the field.
