Cleveland Browns All-Pro right tackle Jack Conklin will undergo an MRI on Monday after dislocating his elbow during Sunday’s game.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday the team would be without Conklin for multiple weeks. However, Stefanski wasn’t sure whether Conklin would need surgery. He expects Conklin to be back this season.
Conklin sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. Blake Hance entered the game in place of Conklin and is expected to be the starter in his absence.
Conklin missed the Browns’ previous two games with a knee injury.
Conklin, 27, has started all 78 career games in which he has played with the Tennessee Titans and Browns. He made All-Pro as a rookie in 2016 with the Titans and last season with the Browns.
Browns safety John Johnson III (neck sprain) is day-to-day. Also, Stefanski is hoping to have cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) available in Week 9 but said he’d know more Wednesday.
