The Browns are working to re-build their offensive line, beginning internally, as they have re-signed G Teven Jenkins.
Jenkins first signed with the Browns during the 2025 free agency period as an unrestricted free agent. He played in all 17 games of the 2025 season and earned four starts at right guard, providing key depth as the offensive line dealt with injuries and changing starting lineups over the course of the season.
Throughout the 2025 season and his 324 offensive snaps played, according to PFF, Jenkins did not commit a penalty and also did not allow a sack. He only allowed two hits and 14 pressures.
As he returns to Cleveland and the Browns look to revamp the offensive line, Jenkins brings his level of experience to a unit with a new offensive system under offensive coordinator Travis Switzer and offensive line coach in George Warhop. Jenkins is entering his sixth NFL season after first being selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft with the 39th overall pick. He has played in 62 career games with 42 starts over five seasons at left tackle, left guard and right guard.
The Browns have re-signed G Teven Jenkins. He played in all 17 games for the Browns during the 2025 season, earning four starts. Jenkins spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Bears from 2021-24.
