With Wills and Conklin ruled out, Dawand Jones and James Hudson III will take over as the starting tackles on the offensive line. Jones, a rookie, will start at right tackle, while Hudson, a former third-round pick, will move from right tackle to left tackle.
The absence of Njoku, the Browns' top tight end, will give Pharaoh Brown and Harrison Bryant more opportunities to contribute. Brown is a reliable blocking tight end, while Bryant has shown flashes of his potential as a pass-catcher.
The Browns will also be without Denzel Ward, one of their top cornerbacks. Martin Emerson Jr. is expected to start in Ward's place.
