James Hudson Latest News
Placed on injured reserve
Cleveland placed Hudson (shoulder) on IR on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski hinted that this move could be coming last week when it was revealed that Hudson had aggravated a shoulder injury and would miss Week 5 against Washington. With his move to IR now official, Hudson will need to miss the Browns' next four contests and isn't eligible to return until Nov. 17.
Won't play in Week 6
Hudson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hudson hasn't been able to practice since aggravating his shoulder injury during the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Raiders. The fourth-year pro had surgery on his injured shoulder Thursday and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Now that Hudson has officially been ruled out for Week 6, expect Jedrick Wills (knee) or Germain Ifedi to serve as the Browns' top left tackle.
Has surgery
Hudson had surgery on his injured right shoulder Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. The left tackle missed the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Commanders after aggravating the injury in the team's Week 4 defeat to the Raiders. Last week, Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said Hudson could be placed on IR, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. Jedrick Wills (knee) or Germain Ifedi should be in line to serve as Cleveland's top left tackle in Week 6 against Philadelphia.
Missing Week 5
Hudson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters this week that Hudson could also be placed on injured reserve after aggravating his shoulder injury during Cleveland's Week 4 loss to the Raiders, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. With Hudson set to miss the foreseeable future, expect either Jedrick Wills (knee) or Germain Ifedi to serve as Cleveland's top left tackle in Week 5.
Will play vs. Las Vegas
Hudson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hudson injured his shoulder during the Browns' Week 3 loss to the Giants. He was a limited participant in all three practice sessions, and that is apparently good enough for him to avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game. Hudson will start at tackle opposite Dawand Jones with both Jedrick Wills (knee) and Jack Conklin (hamstring) not playing.
Suffers injury Sunday
Hudson (shoulder) will undergo an MRI after suffering a shoulder injury during Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hudson stepped in at left tackle after Jedrick Wills (knee) exited the game. The Browns continue to be decimated by injuries, especially to their offensive line, as they also lost Wyatt Teller (knee) during the game, while Jack Conklin (knee) remains out. More details on Hudson's injury and recovery timeline should come after his MRI results are reported.
Starting at left tackle Sunday
Hudson will start at left tackle for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. With Jedrick Wills (knee) unavailable, it will be Hudson who protects Deshaun Watson's blind side in Week 1. Dawand Jones will hold down the other side of the offensive line at right tackle.
Suffers ankle injury
Hudson has been ruled out from returning to Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings due to an ankle injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hudson was hurt on a passing play late in the second quarter and was subsequently ruled out from a return shortly after halftime. The fourth-year pro started the exhibition game at right tackle with projected regular-season starting tackles Jedrick Wills (knee) and Jack Conklin (knee) both on the PUP list. When all three players are healthy, Hudson is expected to work in a backup role.
