Snap Count Review: How did Browns D-Line handle its 1st test without 3 starters?

We're breaking down who played how much in the Browns' 41-24 victory over the Dolphins.

-- In the Browns' first game without Myles Garrett, no defensive lineman played more than 68 percent of the snaps. Chad Thomas led the way with 43 of a possible 63 snaps while Sheldon Richardson, who lined up at both end and tackle, played 41. Eli Ankou and Devaroe Lawrence both started but played just 35 and 32 snaps, respectively.

-- Bryan Cox, who was acquired just days before Cleveland's Week 11 game against the Steelers, played 32 snaps in his Browns debut. Porter Gustin, who was activated from the practice squad Friday, played 25 snaps in his NFL debut. Gustin picked up a sack in the fourth quarter on a play where Cox also applied plenty of pressure.

-- DT Brandin Bryant, who was similarly activated from the practice squad Friday, played 22 snaps. It was also his NFL debut. Chris Smith rounded out the group with 16 snaps.

-- The two players who were on the field for every snap?

Greedy Williams played all but one.

-- Rookie LB Sione Takitaki played 15 snaps as his role continues to expand. Fourth-round pick Sheldrick Redwine played 25 snaps.

-- J.T. Hassell played nine special teams snaps in his NFL debut.

-- Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt each played 43 of a possible 76 snaps.

-- Odell Beckham Jr. (75) and Jarvis Landry (71) were on the field for nearly every snap while Rashard Higgins (25) received the third-most opportunities at the position.

-- Demetrius Harris led all tight ends with 51 snaps while Stephen Carlson played 36.
