Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/9/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones had a second consecutive abbreviated season in 2024 due to an injury. It was a knee in 2023 and then a lower-leg last season. For good measure, he underwent a second knee surgery during this offseason but surprised observers by being on the field for OTAs. The Browns are hopeful a slimmer Jones can move from right to left tackle. Read Past Outlooks
Undergoes surgery
Jones (knee/hamstring) underwent surgery to address a torn LCL in his right knee and a hamstring avulsion Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones suffered both of the injuries in the team's 13-10 loss to the Packers in Week 3, and he will now shift his focus to being ready to go for the 2026 campaign. In his absence, Cornelius Lucas is expected to take over at starting left tackle moving forward with the Browns this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shining in preseason
Jones has allowed only one pressure in 71 pass-blocking snaps during the preseason, per Pro Football Focus.
ANALYSIS
Jones has primarily faced backup pass rushers, but his impenetrability through two preseason games is still impressive, especially considering that the 2023 fourth-round pick was viewed as a relatively raw prospect heading into the draft. He appears to have figured out how to utilize his massive 6-foot-8, 374-pound frame effectively faster than expected, and his opportunity to start at right tackle in the regular season could come sooner than expected with Jack Conklin in the concussion protocol.
