Browns' Tyson Campbell named defensive 'X-factor' for 2026 season

Tyson Campbell is highlighted as the Cleveland Browns' defensive 'X-factor' for the 2026 NFL season. The cornerback is expected to bolster the team's performance after previously being ranked #4 in defense last year. With the departure of key players like Myles Garrett and Devin Bush, Campbell's man coverage and tackling are considered critical for the team's success. The Browns are looking to improve from a disappointing season and have overhauled parts of the roster, bringing in new talent to address weaknesses. Training camp has begun, and anticipation grows around how the defense will adapt under defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg.
