With T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers on their way to Cleveland in Week 11, the Browns could use the services of rookie tackle Dawand Jones.

As of now, it's unclear if he'll be out there on Sunday at 1 p.m. Head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Friday that Jones would be given a questionable designation heading into the weekend. 

The fifth-round pick practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and was back out there for the team's final session on Friday – a step in the right direction that he could potentially play. 

One thing Stefanski did confirm, however, is that whether it's Jones or last week's starter James Hudson III starting at right tackle, Geron Christian will be making a second consecutive start at left tackle for Cleveland. That news eliminates any notion that the Browns would move Jones to the opposite side of the o-line with Jedrick Wills currently on the IR with a knee injury.

Jones first popped up on the injury report ahead of Week 9 with a shoulder injury but was able to play through the ailment against the Cardinals. He emerged from that win, however, with an additional knee injury, which seemed to prevent him – along with the shoulder – from suiting up against the Ravens. 

With Dorian-Thompson Robinson slated to make his second career start it would certainly be a boost to have Jones back to keep his fellow rookie upright.

Along with Jones, the team is listing guard Michael Dunn as questionable. Dunn was activated off the IR this week with a calf injury. Meanwhile, safety Juan Thornhill and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin have already been ruled out.
