Jenkins made four starts last year in his first season with Cleveland and was slated to start at right guard in 2026. Expected to start in Jenkins' place is rookie Austin Barber -- a third-round pick by the Browns.
Andrew Harbaugh of Browns Wire recently provided some insight into what Barber can bring to the Browns' offensive line unit:
"Barber didn't play guard at Florida, so it's a new position for him after logging 2,087 snaps
at left tackle and 490 snaps at right tackle during his time with the Gators," wrote Harbaugh. "He brings a nasty temperament to the run game, looking to finish guys by blocking them into the dirt."
Along with Barber, rookie left tackle Spencer Fano is in line to start against Jacksonville as well.
Brailsford provides depth at center behind veteran Elgton Jenkins.
