Cleveland Browns starting right tackle Jack Conklin exited the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Conklin was pulled after the Browns’ opening drive touchdown. The hard-nosed goal-line runs got the attention of the league’s independent neurologist. Conklin was seen walking into the blue medical tent to get assessed. Conklin was then spotted walking into the locker room with a red cap. Conklin is entering his sixth season in Cleveland. The talented right tackle made an All-Pro in his first season with the Browns. However, he’s struggled to stay healthy during his time here. Hopefully, Conklin can join the Browns soon. The team is relying on him a lot. Conklin has been ruled questionable to return with an eye injury.
Long-time NFL veteran Cornelius Lucas has replaced Conklin as the team’s right tackle. Lucas is the size of a mountain and a serviceable veteran. Lucas does a great job of using his size to slow down defenders. The Browns should be able to rely on the offensive tackle if Conklin is unable to return.
