The Cleveland Browns' interior defensive line is gaining attention during the early days of training camp for the 2026-27 NFL season. With standout performances from 2025 first-round pick Mason Graham and 2024 second-round pick Michael Hall Jr., the unit is adapting after the departures of star EDGE rusher Myles Garrett and veteran defensive tackle Shelby Harris. Graham is expected to take on a larger role in his second season while Hall aims to improve following a lackluster start to his career. Maliek Collins will begin the season on the PUP list, increasing the reliance on Graham and Hall.
