The Cleveland Browns hosted a trio of defensive linemen for workouts on Friday, featuring defensive end Vincent Anthony along with defensive tackles Kyonte Hamilton and Jay Tufele. The evaluations, captured on the official NFL Transactions wire, indicate the organization is actively monitoring depth options for its defensive front.
Among the group, Tufele brings the most extensive professional experience. Originally selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of USC by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 27-year-old has made stops with several franchises. After his time in Jacksonville, he was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals, subsequently completed his rookie contract, and later spent time with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. During the 2025 season with the Jets, Tufele saw action in 12 games and accumulated 12 total tackles.
What to watch next: Monitor whether the Browns decide to sign any of the three tryout participants to bolster their roster depth heading into the next phase of the football calendar.
