Ezra Cleveland
OL - Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 12 Outlook
Availability
Ezra Cleveland left practice on Saturday with a leg injury.
Fantasy Impact
It is not clear how serious the injury is. There should be an update on his status when available. He re-signed with the Jaguars earlier in the offseason.
The Jaguars and Ezra Cleveland have agreed to terms on a new three-year deal worth $28.5M with $14.5M guaranteed.
Fantasy Impact
Jacksonville traded for Cleveland last season and moved quickly to keep him off the market. He started seven games last year for the Jaguars, but has shown the ability to move around if needed.
The Vikings are trading G Ezra Cleveland to the Jaguars for a sixth-round pick.
Fantasy Impact
The 25-year-old lineman is ranked 36th by PFF grade. Jacksonville gets some extra protection for Trevor Lawrence and Cleveland should also help Travis Etienne Jr.
G Ezra Cleveland (ankle) will not play Sunday’s Week 12 contest against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Erza was unable to practice this week and will not play in Sunday’s game against the Panthers. He has started the last four contests at RG. The Panthers run defense has been abysmal most of the season, the loss of Cleveland shouldn’t affect star RB Dalvin Cook too much. Look for Brett Jones to start at RG while Cleveland is sidelined.
Twins Cities' Chris Tomasson writes that rookie OL Ezra Cleveland could start at right guard this season.
Fantasy Impact
Cleveland was the Vikings' second-round pick back in April but had plenty of first-round buzz. He is viewed as their left tackle of the future but it sounds as if he'll begin his career playing more inside.
