Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin will miss the rest of the 2023 season after tearing his ACL and MCL in the team's Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 29-year-old has also torn his patellar tendon tear and ACL in years past.

Conklin has been among the game's best tackles when healthy, earning first-team All-Pro nods as a rookie with the Tennessee Titans in 2016 and again with the Browns in 2020.

The former first-round pick played in 14 contests in 2022. He parlayed his performance into a four-year, $60-million extension that runs through 2026.

Conklin was replaced by fourth-round rookie Dawand Jones versus Cincinnati. Jones or James Hudson will likely start opposite Jedrick Wills moving forward.
