Overview

  • Coach Kevin Stefanski said Jones will undergo knee surgery and miss the rest of 2025 after being hurt on the fourth play of Sunday's game against the Packers.
  • The Browns will submit the play for league review under the rule that bars low blocks against offensive players outside the tight end box.
  • KT Leveston stepped in at right tackle after the injury while Cornelius Lucas stayed at left tackle, and Stefanski said the team will sort through offensive-line options this week.
  • Right tackle Jack Conklin, whose elbow issue led to Jones moving sides before the game, is considered day-to-day.
  • It is Jones' third consecutive season ending with a major injury; he remains on his rookie deal through next season, and reports suggest an extension this spring is unlikely.
