The Cleveland Browns have confirmed that Jack Conklin will not start at left tackle due to his inactivity for the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, James Hudson III will fill in at that position. There were discussions about Conklin's potential return, but ultimately, he wasn't deemed ready for the opener.

Besides Conklin, several other Browns players are inactive, including quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and cornerbacks Kahlef Hailassie and Myles Harden. The Dallas Cowboys will be without tight end John Stephens due to a hamstring injury.
