Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Jones will miss the remainder of the season due to a fractured fibula, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. It was already known after Sunday's game at New Orleans that Jones would miss the rest of the year, but the precise nature of his injury was disclosed a bit later. With his departure, Germain Ifedi is set to become Cleveland's primary backup at tackle, a role that's especially important now given that regular starting left tackle Jedrick Wills is dealing with a knee issue.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Jones will miss the remainder of the season due to a fractured fibula, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. It was already known after Sunday's game at New Orleans that Jones would miss the rest of the year, but the precise nature of his injury was disclosed a bit later. With his departure, Germain Ifedi is set to become Cleveland's primary backup at tackle, a role that's especially important now given that regular starting left tackle Jedrick Wills is dealing with a knee issue.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Jones will be out for the rest of the regular season after fracturing his left ankle during Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Jones was carted off the field and had his left leg in an air cast in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Further tests confirmed that Jones fractured his left ankle, and the 2023 fourth-round pick will undergo surgery, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. With Jones done for the year, Jedrick Wills would figure to start at left tackle if he's able to overcome a knee injury, otherwise Germain Ifedi -- who came in for Jones on Sunday -- would hold that spot.
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 game against New Orleans, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Jones had to be carted off the field with his left leg in an air cast after he was hurt in the second quarter, so it's not surprising that the offensive tackle has since been ruled out. The Browns have a quick turnaround with a Week 12 contest against Pittsburgh on Thursday Night Football, and Jones' status for that matchup is in considerable doubt. Germain Ifedi is likely to step in as Cleveland's primary left tackle in Jones' absence.
Jones (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. Jones' left leg was put in an air cast, and he was carted off the field late in the second quarter of Sunday's game, per Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. With Jones likely done for the day, Germain Ifedi will take over at left tackle.
Jones has returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars after dealing with cramps, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Jones' return is good news for the Browns who are already down their two starting offensive tackles.
Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to cramps, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Jones headed back to the locker room after getting checked out by trainers. Germain Ifedi will take over at right tackle while Jones is sidelined.
Jones will start at right tackle for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Regular starter Jack Conklin (knee) is unavailable in Week 1, so the second-year man Jones will get the start in his place. James Hudson will begin Sunday's contest on the other side of the line at left tackle.
Jones (knee) participated in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Jones underwent surgery in December to repair the torn MCL in his right knee that he sustained in practice. He sat out of OTAs and minicamp, but the 2023 fourth-round pick appears to have fully recovered from his surgery and is slated to serve as the backup right tackle behind Jack Conklin (knee).
Jones (knee) is hopeful to be ready for Week 1 in the upcoming season, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports. Jones suffered a torn MCL and missed the final five games of the regular season, plus the Browns' wild card loss to the Texans. He is not participating in organized team activities yet, but doctor's originally told him he could be back practicing as early as June. Thus, he could start ramping things up soon. He projects to back up Jack Conklin (knee) at right tackle when healthy this season.
