New Browns Starting RT Dawand Jones Looked Like ‘A Seasoned Vet’, Baldinger Says, With T.J. Watt On Deck

While the Cleveland Browns did not escape their dominant season-opening win over the Cincinnati Bengals without incident, reason for optimism remains. RT Jack Conklin suffered a season-ending injury along the way, but the solution might already be on the roster, according to NFL analyst Brian Baldinger.

That would be Dawand Jones, one of the most talented tackles to come out of the 2022 NFL Draft, but whose stock plummeted because of concerns about his willingness to dedicate himself to the game and keep himself in shape.

Jones took over at right tackle after Conklin went down, playing 52 snaps.
