According to Jeremy Fowler, Browns OT Dawand Jones recently underwent arthroscopic knee surgery but is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp.
Fowler notes Jones played through a lingering injury last season but will begin running soon.
Jones finished last season on injured reserve after suffering a fractured ankle, so this appears to be a separate issue.
Jones, 23, was a two-year starter at right tackle for Ohio State. He was twice named third-team All-Big 10 and earned second-team All-American honors as a senior in 2022.
The Browns selected him in the fourth round with the No. 111 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year deal worth $4,632,332 including a signing bonus of $792,332.
In 2024, Jones appeared in 10 games for the Browns with eight total starts at both tackle positions.
