Cleveland Browns starting right tackle Jack Conklin will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, ESPN reported Monday.
The two-time All-Pro was injured midway though the second quarter of Sunday’s season-opening 24-3 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.
Conklin, 29, was pass blocking and Cincinnati edge rusher Trey Hendrickson was in pursuit of quarterback Deshaun Watson when Hendrickson fell and rolled up on Conklin. He was carted off and ruled out moments later.
Conklin was replaced by 2023 fourth-round draft pick Dawand Jones out of Ohio State.
A first-round pick (eighth overall) by Tennessee in 2016, Conklin has played in 94 games (all starts) with the Titans (2016-19) and Browns.
