The Story in 60 Seconds

Cleveland Browns starting center Elgton Jenkins entered concussion protocol following Sunday's 21-18 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The team listed Jenkins as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, leaving him in serious doubt for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Huntington Bank Field.

Jenkins has started all three games for the 2-1 Browns after signing a two-year, $24 million contract in March. If he cannot play, Cleveland may turn to Luke Wypler or rookie Parker Brailsford to anchor an offensive line facing Pittsburgh's defense, which features Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt.
