Joel Bitonio is doing what the Browns requested Stephen Anderson Jersey , but he admits reluctance at moving from left guard to left tackle. He has started the past four seasons at guard.

“You’re always scared of the unknown,” Bitonio said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Shon Coleman got the first shot at replacing Joe Thomas. Now Braden Smith Jersey , it’s Bitonio’s turn.

Austin Corbett will take over at left guard.

“I want to help the team win, and coach [Hue] Jackson wants to put the best five offensive linemen out on the field,” Bitonio said. “Right now Ameer Abdullah Jersey , he thinks that’s with me at left tackle, so I’m going to try to be the best left tackle I can be, and if something happens where I’ve got to go play left guard again Jordan Akins Jersey , then I’ll try to be ready to do that as well. It’s just what’s going to help our team win the most games.”

Veteran Greg Robinson was expected to compete at left tackle. But the former No. 2 overall pick who signed with the Browns in the offseason was diagnosed with a concussion last week and has not practiced since.

“Was [Bitonio] reluctant? Yeah, I would be, too Allen Hurns Jersey ,” Jackson said. “He’s one of the best left guards in football.”

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski sat out practice Thursday with a concussion and quarterback Tom Brady was limited with his right-hand injury as New England returned to the practice field in preparation for its Super Bowl matchup with Philadelphia.

Gronkowski suffered his concussion after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit early in the Patriots’ AFC championship game win over Jacksonville. Brady got several stitches in his hand after getting hurt in practice leading up to that game.

Defensive lineman Deatrich Wise (concussion) and Malcolm Brown (foot) also did not participate in Thursday’s practice. Safety Devin McCourty (shoulder), running back Mike Gillislee (knee) and offensive lineman LaAdrian Waddle (knee) were all limited participants.
