With veteran defensive tackle Taven Bryan out this week against the Atlanta Falcons, the Cleveland Browns will rely heavily on their young defensive tackles in Tommy Togiai and Perrion Winfrey. Togiai will likely get the start opposite third-year player Jordan Elliott, but Winfrey is going to see his largest snap count to date. They also elevated Roderick Perry from the practice squad to help fill in for depth.
To date, the interior defensive line has played about on par with how a thin unit like theirs would be expected to play. Bryan has shown flashes when pushing the pocket, but outside of a few splashes, the defensive tackle room in Cleveland remains among the worst in the league.
