The head coach didn’t give details about Jack’s injury, but the information is that the right tackle had torn his ACL and MCL in his left knee.

Because of that, he must have surgery, meaning he will not play again until the end of the season.

“Very, very sad for Conklin,” Browns’ head coach said today. “He’s a huge part of this organization. When he gets this procedure and is ready, he will return to our franchise immediately because he is a crucial element of our offensive line.”

Jack was carted off the field after his injury in the Browns’ 24-3 win vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. The right tackle suffered the problem while pass-protecting in the 1^st half vs. Cincinnati.
