Jedrick Wills Jr.

Browns placed LT Jedrick Wills (knee) on injured reserve.

Wills will be eligible to return in Week 18, though that doesn’t seem likely. The former No. 10 overall suffered an MCL injury last year that limited him to just eight games. The issue lingered into 2024, resulting in just five appearances for Wills this season. Wills also admitted that he made a “business decision” not to play in a game versus Baltimore this year because of the knee issue. While it makes sense on paper for a player in a contract year to not play hurt, that doesn’t fly in the NFL. Wills’ draft pedigree should earn him a short-term deal as a starter in free agency, though his time in Cleveland is over.
