Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr.'s recent comments regarding his decision to sit out due to a knee injury, labeling them as a 'poor choice of words.' Wills had stated he made a 'business decision' not to play against the Baltimore Ravens after hyperextending his knee.

Following the Browns' surprising victory over the Ravens, Wills was informed by Stefanski that he would no longer be a starter, instead taking on a backup role. Despite this, Stefanski clarified that Wills' decision to sit out was not the reason for his benching and emphasized that it wouldn't affect Wills' chances of regaining his starting position.
