Cleveland Browns Re-Sign Tackle Geron Christian Amid Offensive Line Shakeup Due to Dawand Jones’ Season-Ending Injury

After a recent injury, the Cleveland Browns have made some urgent changes to their offensive line. Dawand Jones, a lineman, was placed on injured reserve by the team following a difficult game against the New Orleans Saints due to a fractured fibula. Jones will miss the rest of the season due to the injury, which was caused by an unfortunate incident involving his linemate in the second quarter, according to Reuters.

In order to cover the void, Cleveland added Geron Christian off the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad to the active roster. Christian has played in one game with the Rams this season and started nine games at left tackle for the Browns in 2023, so this isn’t his first time with the team. According to the official Cleveland Browns website, the 6-5, 315-pound Louisville alumnus is in his seventh NFL season and has played in 59 games, 25 of which have been starts.

Jones’ absence, meanwhile, creates a noticeable hole in the Browns’ offensive lineup. Jones shown his versatility on the field by starting five games this season as a correct tackle and three as a left tackle prior to suffering the leg injury.The 6-foot-8, 374-pound player, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft from Ohio State, had shown encouraging growth in his starts before to the setback, according to Reuters.

Jones will likely miss the remainder of the season due to surgery, according to Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, despite the shuffle. As he returns to the Browns, where he has already created some continuity, Christian, who is now wearing jersey number 72, will try to strengthen Cleveland’s O-line. In 2023, he filled in for Jack Conklin, another injured lineman.Christian’s return to the Browns was also recognized by Cleveland19 News, the local news organization in Cleveland.
