Browns coach Kevin Stefanski provided some protection for offensive left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. Stefanski said that he met with Wills in the aftermath of the former first-round pick saying he made a “business decision” by choosing to sit out a recent game against Baltimore because of a knee injury.

FILE -Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. prepares for an NFL football game against the New York Giants, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024 in Cleveland. Stefanski said Wednesday that he met with Wills in the aftermath of the former first-round pick — and currently benched starter — saying“I talked to Jed. It was a poor choice of words,” Stefanski said before practice as the Browns prepared to play at New Orleans this week. “I know what that phrase means. That’s not how he meant it.

Wills had surgery on the same knee in December and said he didn’t want to play at less than full strength because it would hurt the team. The Browns wound up beating the Ravens with Jones, who started last season at right tackle, playing well in Wills’ spot.Sports betting: Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown among the favorites to score for the EaglesWills was active to play the next week against the Chargers, but Stefanski stuck with Jones on the left side.

Stefanski also said Wills’ comments will not affect how he is used going forward this season. The 25-year-old is currently the team’s “swing” tackle, backing up both Jones and right tackle Jack Conklin. Wills has been a target for fan negativity in recent years. The No. 10 overall pick in 2020 from Alabama started 57 games and has played solidly, but there have been instances in which his effort has been questioned.Stefanski said it has been a challenge for Wills to get back to previous form following his operation in December.
