Daily Dawg Tags: Cleveland Browns back up plan if Jedrick Wills can’t go
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including a look at what they might do if Jedrick Wills isn’t ready for the left tackle position
This offseason has already been different for the entire NFL as teams have had some serious restrictions on the amount of contact they can have with one another. We saw that in full force during the 2020 NFL Draft when everything was done virtually.
For the Cleveland Browns, these restrictions can end up being a problem as they’re replacing both their left and right tackle. And one of those players, Jedrick Wills, will be switching from one side to the other — while also making the jump from the NCAA to the pros.
Today’s Daily Dawg Tags highlights an article from Mary Kay Cabot where she answers a question from a reader who wants to know what the Browns will do if Wills isn’t ready to go by Week 1 due to the restrictions.

"“First of all, the Browns are very confident Wills be ready to start at left tackle in September and he’s already hard at work on making the switch. They say it takes about three months to develop the requisite muscle memory, and he’s got ample time. He did admit that it’s harder than some people might think, but he’s already make a lot of progress and is also confident he can pull it off by September.”"
Mary Kay says Wills doesn’t seem to be too concerned about being ready and she’s probably right. He has plenty of time and while he might not be able to practice with the team like normal, he didn’t become the No.10 overall pick simply because of his coaches pushing him. Wills is going to be ready as he has the motivation and work ethic to practice on his own.
Browns will have decisions to make with wide receiver room
Ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, Cleveland was extremely top-heavy at wide receiver. Beyond Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry, there wasn’t a lot to work with. Now that they added Donovan Peoples-Jones and re-signed Rashard Higgins, Dan Justik says they could have some difficult decisions to make.
