- Browns injury news: Michael Dunn, Nick Harris starting on offensive line against Eagles
PHILADELPHIA — The Browns are about to play another defense with talented interior linemen with two new starters on the interior of their offensive line.
Nick Harris will start at center for the injured Ethan Pocic and Michael Dunn will start at right guard for rookie Zac Zinter when the Browns play at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The other three starters — left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. , left guard Joel Bitonio and right tackle Dawand Jones — will all remain the same.

The Browns will also have tackle Jack Conklin active for the first time last year's season opener, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Cincinnati Bengals . Conklin is expected to have a role of some kind against the Eagles.
The other area where the Browns are going to be looking different than normal will be at safety, with both Grant Delpit (concussion) and Ronnie Hickman (ankle) inactive due to injury. Rodney McLeod and D'Anthony Bell will start in their place.
Devin Bush will once again start at linebacker in place of Jordan Hicks . Hicks remains inactive with rib, elbow and triceps injuries.
The Browns also had defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson inactive. They activated both Mike Hall Jr. (suspension) and Maurice Hurst II (injured reserve) on Saturday.
