After missing ten games last season with two separate injuries, Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin has been activated from the physically unable to perform list, according to Nate Ulrich of USA Today. Conklin’s return to the field ensures that Cleveland will field all but one starting offensive linemen from last season. 
Conklin had two separate trips to the injured reserve list last year. He spent three weeks out with an early-November elbow injury and tore his patellar tendon in his first game back from the elbow injury, knocking him out for the remainder of the season. After missing OTAs to rehabilitate on his own, it was expected that Conklin would be limited to start training camp. The Browns confirmed as much by opening camp with Conklin on PUP.
After only eight months of recovery, though, Conklin has been cleared for practice. Cleveland likely won’t take any unnecessary risks in rushing Conklin back to full-go, but to have him back at all this early is an extremely encouraging sign for the Browns’ offensive line. He’ll return to right tackle opposite Jedrick Wills, bookending a line that returns starting guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller. With J.C. Tretter departing in free agency that leaves center as the only position filled by a different player than last year. A backup center for Cleveland over the past two seasons, Nick Harris will get his chance to start at center in camp this summer.
Cleveland also made some moves at wide receiver today, signing Derrick Dillon and waiving Isaiah Weston with an injury designation. Dillon participated in the USFL draft this past year but, after getting selected in the 15th round, never appeared in a game. He also spent time on the Giants’ practice squad after signing there as an undrafted free agent in 2020. Weston was an undrafted free agent from this year’s rookie class that was carted off the practice field with a knee injury on Saturday. Weston was a longshot to make the roster in the first place, and Dillon will replace him as a camp body this summer.
Won’t matter this team is garbage
If you feel so strongly then I suggest you bet on the number of games they’re gonna win. I bet you could clean up if you bet 4 or less. I’m guessing you won’t bet. Browns have top 5 talent in football when Watson plays
Browns always find a way to blow it. Poorly ran organizations always do
But our roster is loaded now. We’ve never had the quarterback. Watson with the Browns offensive line and running backs plus a top 5 defense. Wow
Top 5 talent? Watson wasn’t even a top QB before he sexually assaulted a bus full of women
He led the league in passing his last year……without Hopkins and Fuller and no running game. Why are you even on a football site? You obviously don’t know anything Barney. I think I know why you’re here. Yuck
Clearly you have an issue either with the Browns, generally, or this year’s team, particularly. So why did you spend time reading an article to update your knowledge of the team??? Regardless of your feelings toward the Browns, it’s not appropriate to call other human beings and their work “garbage.” I hope you’re able to resolve your underlying anger issues soon so you may be able to enjoy life a little.
I didn’t read the article I just looked to see if Brownstripe commented which he did. As for calling others garbage well I disagree you can call Watson garbage and be correct. To add all the players into one pool is incorrect. The Haslams have shown they are garbage people too. Knowingly trading for this guy giving him an outrageous contract and then manipulate it so he doesn’t take a hit is garbage. I hope it is appealed and they rule he can’t play until the ruling is over. Then Roger delays it until next season the suspend him for 6 games.
Every team honors garbage. Name a team and I’ll give you a garbage guy. The Trashtros whole team is garbage
But you continue to defend garbage
Kareem Hunt & DeShawn Watson are pieces of garbage disguised as humans.
If you defend them actions toward women the. You’re garbage too. Therefore the Cleveland Browns are garbage for giving pieces of garbage like this bags of cash because they can run fast & throw
Who’s your team Barney?
Browns are all drama and losing. Can’t name a season that’s not true.
So accurate. Watson and the Cleveland Clowns will finish 4th in the AFC North
Haha. Best talent in the division when Watson will play. Steelers have last place wrapped up for years to come
Talent has never been the Browns problem. It’s winning games with that talent that eludes them.
2020 they were 12-6
2020 was the browns best year and they 2020 was truly the best year for the browns. Managed to finished third in the division. First playoff win since 1994 and then lost to a backup qb in the playoffs. Can’t think of a year the browns didn’t find some way to be the browns. Followed it up by a terrible 2021 after high expectations.
Steelers have the best defense in the league this year and its not close. With or without Watson the Browns will be a dumpster fire, as always.
Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? They were 24th last year and last against the run. Do you really think Ogunjobi and Jack are gonna make that much of a difference? What flavor is that kool-aid? There is literally no football analysts anywhere that would agree with you. I guess Trubisky is a top 5 quarterback and Harris is the best back in the league?
8-9 with 22 guys on covid at one point and 44 games missed by starters on offense isn’t what I’d call horrible. The Browns got horrible quarterback play from Mayfield, although injuries played a factor. They’ve gone from a quarterback with a career 87.8 QBR to a quarterback with a career 104.5 QBR. Huge upgrade. They just need to go 3-3 until Watson gets back
