After back-to-back injury-shortened seasons, Cleveland Browns right tackle Dawand Jones is yet again on the road to recovery.
Jones recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The procedure was performed to clean up damage from an in-season injury unrelated to the fracture that ended his 2024 season. A source claimed that Jones will soon come off crutches and return to running in preparation for offseason training.
Jones, measuring in at a massive 6-foot-8, 374-pound, has struggled with lower body injuries early in his career. An MCL tear in his right knee cut short his rookie season, and he suffered yet another season-ending injury this past season against the New Orleans Saints in which he fractured his left fibula.
Despite the setbacks, a source indicates Jones is expected to be fully recovered by the start of training camp in late July. His return is crucial for Cleveland’s offensive line, as he is currently projected to be one of the starting five in 2025. With the expected departure of left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. in free agency, the Browns will need stability in the trenches.
As he works his way back, Jones’ health will be closely monitored throughout the summer.
