While Andrew Berry was able to do a respectable job rebuilding the offensive line this offseason, a gaping hole remains at the left tackle position. Yes, Dawand Jones remains under contract, but he has finished each of the last two seasons on injured reserve with a fractured ankle and torn LCL (with hamstring avulsion).
What's more, Pro Football Focus graded his efforts in 2025 a 32.8 — worse than the 89th-ranked (out of 89) offensive tackle who had enough snaps to qualify. We're getting further and further removed from the promise Jones displayed as a rookie. The low cost to keep him around makes it easy to let him compete under a new coaching staff, but relying on him for a premier role in 2026 would be a mistake.
