The Cleveland Browns defensive line room is one of the deepest position groups on the entire team led by bookends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney. While Garrett and Clowney did not have any time together in-game action during the preseason, they are expected to wreak havoc come Week 1.

Takk McKinley missed significant time this training camp due to “personal reasons” but recently returned back to the practice field and seems to be ready to get after the quarterback Week 1.

Malik McDowell has been a pleasant surprise for the Browns, to say the least. He has been tearing up training camp and the preseason so far which will make it tough for the Browns to let him go.

Andrew Billings, Malik Jackson, Sheldon Day, Porter Gustin, and Tommy Togiai will all be solid depth pieces and rotate on the team’s defensive line.

The Browns gave Marvin Wilson the biggest undrafted free agent contract out of any player but it seems as if his spot on the roster is quickly disappearing. The team may attempt to sign him back to the practice squad but it would be tough for him to clear waivers for the team to be able to do so.

Tough Cut: Joe Jackson, Marvin Wilson
