Browns Elevate CBs Tre Avery and Dom Jones for Week 4 at Lions

The moves bolster secondary depth with Denzel Ward limited by a shoulder injury.

Overview

  • Cleveland announced the practice-squad elevations of Tre Avery and Dom Jones on Saturday for the game in Detroit, marking Jones’ second straight week up to the roster.
  • The Browns did not elevate an offensive lineman, which has been read as a possible sign Jack Conklin could be available, though his status will be clarified on the official inactives list 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • Conklin has missed time since the season opener with an elbow injury and was inactive last week against Green Bay.
  • The added cornerback depth could foreshadow Cameron Mitchell being a healthy inactive again, a possibility that remains unconfirmed until inactives are released.
  • Avery is a fourth-year pro with 38 games for the Titans and special-teams experience, while rookie UDFA Jones logged his first NFL defensive snaps last week versus the Packers.
