The injury epidemic continues for the Browns ahead of Week 10.

After the team began the week by placing starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. on the IR with an MCL injury, they ended it announcing they'd be down another starter on the offensive line.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski revealed on Friday that rookie left tackle, Dawand Jones has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The news comes after Jones was designated as a non-participant at practice all week.

The Ohio State product is dealing with multiple injuries at the moment. Following the team's loss in Seattle two weeks back, Jones was listed as dealing with a shoulder injury. This week, a knee ailment was added to his status on the Browns injury report.

The absence of Jones leaves Cleveland in a precarious situation at the bookends of their O-line. James Hudson III will be tasked with filling in for one of Wills or Jones – Stefanski wouldn't specify which – leaving recent practice squad additions Geron Christian and Leroy Watson IV to fill the other void.

Cleveland Browns Week 10 Injury Report

Jones has been a pleasant surprise for the Browns this season coming out of the fifth-round of April's draft. Despite losing veteran tackle Jack Conklin to a season-ending injury in the season opener, Jones has filled in admirably as the offensive line has barely missed a beat.

Along with Jones, wide receiver David Bell was also ruled out for Cleveland as he missed practice all week with a knee injury. The same goes for fellow wideout, Marquise Goodwin who remains in the concussion protocol after taking a hard hit to the head in the team's win over Arizona.
