Overview
- Ethan Pocic was carted off in the fourth quarter with what was announced as a calf injury, and multiple reports say the Browns fear an Achilles tear pending further tests.
- Replay showed a visible pop at the time of the injury during Cleveland's 31-29 loss to the Titans.
- Cleveland already played without Jack Conklin (concussion) and Wyatt Teller (calf), and Dawand Jones is out for the season after the team previously traded for Cam Robinson to cover tackle.
- Backup Luke Wypler is expected to fill in at center, with Teven Jenkins continuing to get snaps at guard as evaluations of internal depth accelerate.
- Joel Bitonio may consider retirement, leaving questions at all five offensive-line spots as coverage points to a broader offensive overhaul, and the defeat did not worsen the team's draft position.
