A lot will change when training camp rolls around
The two biggest storylines for the Cleveland Browns involve the health of QB Deshaun Watson and RB Nick Chubb. Watson also needs to show that he can lead a team after disappointing seasons overall.
An under-discussed storyline around the Browns is their offensive line. While the middle is clear with Joel Bitonio (top valued OLman the last three years), Ethan Pocic and Wyatt Teller, but the two tackle spots are up in the air.
Last season, Jack Conklin went down in Week 1 while Jedrick Wills and Dawand Jones joined the infirmary list later in the year. All three are expected to be healthy heading into 2024 but that means three starting level tackles for two spots.
With Day 2 of OTAs open to the media, we got our first glimpse of where the line sits as of now:
First Browns open OTA, first offensive line left to right: Hudson, Dunn, Pocic, Teller, Jones.
Wills is watching with a wrap on his knee. Bitonio usually doesn’t participate in OTAs.

It is good to see that Jones is ready to go to start the offseason. Wills and Conklin have almost four months to get healthy while James Hudson III holds down the fourth tackle spot over free-agent additions Hakeem Adeniji and Germain Ifedi.
How do you think the Browns tackle situation will play out by the start of the season?
