Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson could be under heavy fire this Sunday against the Ravens.
Though it sounds too brutal to be true, Cleveland will be without its top three offensive tackles for Week 10.
Right tackle Jack Conklin was placed on injured reserve earlier this season with a knee injury. Left tackle Jedrick Wills joined him on injured reserve this week due to a knee injury of his own.
Wills suffered an MCL sprain during last Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. He’ll miss at least the next four games.
To make matters worse, rookie offensive tackle Dawand Jones has been ruled out due to multiple injuries.

That means it’s up to James Hudson III, Geron Christian and Leroy Watson IV to protect Watson this weekend. We wouldn’t exactly call that a recipe for success.
When the Browns and Ravens met earlier this season, Baltimore won 28-3. To be fair, Watson missed that game with a shoulder injury.
This Sunday’s rematch should have major implications on the AFC North standings.
