Browns elevate two defensive tackles for Week 5

The Cleveland Browns are facing a defensive tackle injury crisis as they prepare to take on the New York Jets in Week 5. Three players have been ruled out of the game: Mike Hall Jr., Mason Graham, and Kalia Davis, who remains on injured reserve. In response to this shortage, the Browns have elevated two veteran defensive tackles from the practice squad to the active roster: Sam Kamara and Chris Williams.

It is highly likely that both Kamara and Williams will play alongside Maliek Collins, as the team appears to be relying on depth at the position. Kamara, who has played in 18 games for the Browns over the last four seasons, possesses versatility, able to line up at defensive tackle, line up, or even play defensive end. Chris Williams, though added to the practice squad earlier this week to address this exact situation, struggles against the run game but has provided pass-rush during his tenure.
