Before the season began, the position group with the most concerns was defensive tackle. The most glaring issue was the lack of a seasoned veteran presence.

In their stead are youngsters Tommy Togiai, Jordan Elliott, Perrion Winfrey plus practice squad members David Moore and Roderick Perry. The only player in this group with any great experience is Taven Bryan, who the Browns signed away from Jacksonville during the off-season.
