Browns' Jedrick Wills Jr. Benched After Opting Out Due to Injury

Wills' decision not to play against the Ravens due to a knee injury led to his replacement by Dawand Jones on the Browns' offensive line.

Jedrick Wills Jr. cited a 'business decision' for sitting out the game against the Ravens, prioritizing his health over playing with a hyperextended knee.
The Browns' coaching staff, led by Kevin Stefanski, decided to bench Wills in favor of Dawand Jones, who took over as left tackle.
Wills expressed frustration over the team's decision, acknowledging it was unexpected but understanding it as part of the team's strategy.
The Browns' decision may reflect a shift in their long-term plans, as Wills is in the final year of his rookie contract and could become a free agent.
Despite the setback, Wills remains focused on contributing where needed and clarified his commitment to playing only when fully healthy.
