Cleveland placed Conklin (knee) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
As expected, Conklin will spend the remainder of the 2023 season on the injured reserve list after sustaining a ruptured ACL on Sunday. His absence represents a major loss for Cleveland's offense, who will now likely have to rely on fourth-round rookie Dawand Jones to start at right tackle for the foreseeable future.

Browns' Jack Conklin: Carted off Sunday
Rotowire
Conklin (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Conklin sustained a knee injury during the first half and was quickly ruled out after being carted off the field. The 29-year-old was an All-Pro in 2020 and has been the Browns' starting right tackle for the last three seasons, so his absence could be a significant factor in both the rushing game and pass protection for quarterback Deshaun Watson. With Conklin out, rookie fourth-round pick Dawand Jones has stepped in at right tackle.
