Browns Cut DE After Adding 2 New Pass-Rush Partners for Myles Garrett
The Cleveland Browns are adding reinforcements to their defense, adding James Houston and Cameron Thomas to their pass-rush rotation.
The Browns claimed both Houston and Thomas off waivers on Wednesday. To make room, Cleveland released Elerson Smith, who had appeared in two games with the Browns.
Houston and Thomas come with upside as young players with a sprinkling of starting experience. The Lions parted ways with Houston on Tuesday.
“It just never quite worked out,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “And look, wish him the best of luck, and sometimes you just need a fresh start and this could be great for him, so wish him the best.”
Houston, 26, was a sixth-round pick of the Lions in 2022. He notched eight sacks as a rookie but has just one since. Houston played on just 23% of the Lions defensive snaps this season and got further buried in the rotation after Detroit traded for former Browns pass-rusher Za’Darius Smith.
Thomas, a former third-round pick of the Cardinals, has just three career sacks. He’s appeared in 36 career games with three starts. He was released by the Kansas City Chiefs this week.
