Browns' defensive ends Wright and McGuire face challenges without Garrett

The Cleveland Browns will rely on defensive ends Alex Wright and Isaiah McGuire in 2026 following Myles Garrett's trade to the Los Angeles Rams. With the acquisition of Jared Verse, the Browns hope to maintain a competitive defensive line. Both Wright and McGuire are expected to step up their performance amidst concerns about their past productivity. While they have shown improvement, this season is crucial for their development, especially for McGuire, who is set to become a free agent. Their success will be key to supporting Verse and fortifying the defense.
