T.J. Watt Will Face Rookie OT Dawand Jones Versus Browns

T.J. Watt picked up three sacks in Sunday’s opener, tying him with James Harrison for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ all-time sack record. Odds are high he’ll break that mark in Monday night’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns. As feared yesterday and confirmed today, Browns RT Jack Conklin suffered a serious knee in yesterday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Conklin suffered a torn ACL and MCL, ending his season.

Tests revealed that Browns’ right tackle Jack Conklin tore his ACL and MCL and will have season-ending surgery, per source.
