The Cleveland Browns lost a crucial player early in the season. Left tackle Dawand Jones couldn\u2019t even make it to the midway point of the campaign, sustaining yet another season-ending injury.<\/p>\n
He had shown promise, but he\u2019s looking at a long way back, and Jones recently revealed his potential return timeline.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrowns OT Dawand Jones, who is out for the season with an LCL tear in his knee and a hamstring avulsion, spoke today and said his return timeline is 6-9 months. Jones said he expects to be back for OTAs next spring. He said he would love to play RT but he\u2019ll line up wherever the team needs him,\u201d Daniel Oyefusi wrote on X.<\/p>\n
Browns OT Dawand Jones, who is out for the season with an LCL tear in his knee and a hamstring avulsion, spoke today and said his return timeline is 6-9 months.<\/p>\n
He has talent, and it\u2019s not like he\u2019s to blame for his injuries. Nevertheless, availability is the best of abilities, and the Browns just can\u2019t trust a player who has suffered a season-ending injury every year since he was a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
The Browns need to revamp their offensive line, especially at both tackle spots. Jack Conklin is missing games as well, and Cam Robinson isn\u2019t more than a backup.<\/p>\n
They could run it back with guards Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio and center Ethan Pocic on short-term contracts. Even so, they would need to add young talent for the future, as those players may be close to retirement.<\/p>\n
As for Jones, it will take a lot of convincing that he deserves another shot with Cleveland. Injuries are the worst part of the game, but there\u2019s no place for a player who can\u2019t stay on the field, especially at such a crucial position.<\/p>\n
The storm surrounding the New York Yankees\u2019 offseason just got louder. Following reports that owner Hal Steinbrenner has ordered the front office to slash payroll below $300 million for 2026, a former Yankees manager has spoken out \u2014 and his words have struck deep within the Bronx faithful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Yankees I knew were built on pride, not profit,\u201d he said firmly. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to build a money machine instead of a team that represents what the Yankees spirit used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
His comments come as the organization faces growing backlash for tightening budgets despite generating over $728 million in revenue last year, the second-highest in Major League Baseball. Fans have accused Steinbrenner of prioritizing financial efficiency over championships, especially after the team\u2019s early playoff exit to the Blue Jays reignited the frustration of a 16-year title drought.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you walk into that clubhouse, you should feel history \u2014 Mantle, Jeter, Rivera, all those names meant something,\u201d he continued. \u201cNow, you walk in and it feels like a spreadsheet. It\u2019s sad to say, but that fire \u2014 that edge \u2014 it\u2019s fading.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he stopped short of naming Steinbrenner directly, his message was unmistakable: the Yankees have lost touch with the bold, win-at-all-costs identity once personified by Hal\u2019s father, George Steinbrenner.
Several former players and local columnists have echoed the sentiment, suggesting that Hal\u2019s cost-cutting mandate risks undermining morale inside the organization and alienating a fan base already weary of corporate decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
