Browns roster: Plan at left tackle

The Cleveland Browns had plenty of issues along the offensive line after last year. This group was ranked #31 at season’s end. To be fair, the starting lineup for Week 1 was a 360 from the offensive line starters going into the final contest of the schedule.

RELATED: 3 ROUND MOCK DRAFT Gone from the lineup were RT Jack Conklin , RG Wyatt Teller , C Ethan Pocic, and LT Dawand Jones. All that was remaining was LG Joel Bitonio. Four out of five were missing.

The Week 1 group was ranked #3 in the league just a few years ago, except OT Jed Wills was starting at LT instead of Jones. What happened to this group? Can it be the fault of losing O-Line coach Bill Callahan?

Could it be that the depth wasn’t what the coaching staff believed would be adequate, as attrition seeps in going down the stretch? Could it be a lack of elite care in the strength and conditioning department? In the end, backups and practice squad guys joined Bitonio in a makeshift situation.
