The Cleveland Browns have elevated defensive tackles Sam Kamara and Chris Williams from the practice squad for Week 6, the team announced Oct. 17.

Kamara, a 6-foot, 272-pound player in his fourth NFL season out of Stony Brook, has appeared in 27 career games, including 18 with the Browns since 2022. This season, he has appeared in one game. He is scheduled to wear No. 92.

Williams, listed at 6-foot-2 and 298 pounds, is in his fifth NFL season and comes to Cleveland after stops that included the Colts, Bears and now the Browns. He has appeared in 45 career games, with his time spanning 2021-22 with Indianapolis, 2024-25 with Chicago, and 2026 with Cleveland. He is scheduled to wear No. 53.

Why It Matters

The move adds fresh rotation options at defensive tackle as Cleveland looks for depth and flexibility in the interior of its defensive front.
Both players bring previous game experience, which can help the Browns manage snaps based on matchups and game flow.
The elevations also report that Cleveland is willing to draw from its practice squad to adjust its active roster during the season.
