BEREA, OH – It’s been the question Browns fans have longed for since March: who would be the team’s starting left tackle after ironman Joe Thomas retired.
On Friday, they got an answer.
Undrafted rookie, Desmond Harrison will serve as quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s blindside protector, head coach Hue Jackson announced. Retroactively, the move bumps veteran Joel Bitonio back to his natural position of left guard. Early on in the preseason, Bitonio was shifted to left tackle in a bit of an experiment from the coaching staff. Ultimately, Jackson felt it was best to move Bitonio back to the position he knows best, left guard.
