NFL offensive tackle Jedrick Wills could miss the entire 2025 season in a bid to recover from a lingering knee issue.
The 26-year-old, who was a first-round pick by the Browns in the 2020 NFL draft, started just four games for Cleveland last year as he dealt with the injury.
Wills is now a free agent and, according to Fox Sports, he has drawn interest from a number of teams across the NFL.
But the offensive tackle is planning to sit out most – if not all – of the upcoming campaign as he bids to return to 100 percent.
Wills is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, who played at Alabama and won a national championship under Nick Saban before being drafted into the NFL.
He started 17 games in his rookie season and 30 combined over the next two campaigns.

But Wills has started just 12 games since 2023 and now his NFL future is mired in uncertainty.
Elsewhere on Monday, Lions offensive lineman Frank Ragnow announced his retirement after seven years in the NFL.
Ragnow had been in a contract dispute with the Lions for a number of months following their season ending in the NFC Divisional round to the Washington Commanders.
Now, at 29, Ragnow revealed in an Instagram post that he would be ending his career.
‘These past couple of months have been very trying as I’ve come to the realization that my football journey is ending and I’m officially retiring from the NFL,’ Ragnow said in the post.
‘I’ve tried to convince myself that I’m feeling good but I’m not and it’s time to prioritize my health and my families future.
‘I have given this team everything I have and I thought I had more to give, but the reality is I simply don’t. I have to listen to my body and this has been one of the hardest decisions of my life.
‘The Lions organization has been absolutely incredibly throughout this process and I can’t emphasize this enough how grateful I am for this team and all the fans. It was an absolute honor going to battle for you all.’
