Jack Conklin won't start at RT, inactive for Cleveland Browns' opener vs. Panthers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. − Jack Conklin won't start at right tackle for the Browns in Sunday's opener at the Carolina Panthers, answering what was the one lingering question heading into the game.
Conklin and fellow offensive lineman Chris Hubbard were both among the eight inactive players for the Browns. James Hudson III will start at right tackle.
The two linemen went through a half-hour or so workout around 10:30 a.m. inside Bank of America Stadium. Conklin is recovering from a torn patellar tendon suffered last Nov. 28, while Hubbard has battled an elbow injury over the last couple of weeks.
Also on the inactive list: quarterback Kellen Mond, receiver Michael Woods II, running back D’Ernest Johnson, safety Richard LeCounte III and defensive end Isaiah Thomas.
