Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Jack Conklin had two stints on injured reserve last season with elbow and knee issues. The 27-year-old was limited to a career-low seven games because of his injuries, but he made a big step in his recovery process during Browns training camp on Monday.

Conklin is entering his seventh NFL season and third with Cleveland. Through his first five years in the league -- including 2016 through 2019 with the Tennessee Titans -- the two-time First Team All-Pro had three years where he played in all 16 contests, one where he appeared in 15 games and in 2018, he played in eight games.

A former Michigan State Spartan, Conklin earned his All-Pro nods in 2016 and 2020.

He projects to join the likes of Jedrick Wills Jr., Nick Harris, fellow All-Pro Joel Bitonio and Pro Bowler Wyatt Teller along the Browns' line in 2022. Cleveland's new QB1 Deshaun Watson was handed down a six-game suspension on Monday and Jacoby Brissett is expected to be the starter while Watson is out.
