Myles Garrett has got another new coach. The Cleveland Browns have hired Jacques Cesaire as their defensive line coach to work with Garrett, the favorite to win AP Defensive Player of the Year, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Saturday. Cesaire, who spent the past two seasons in Houston, will replace Ben Bloom.

In 2021, the San Francisco 49ers gave Miami a package of picks so they could move up in the draft and take Trey Lance. Two years later, Sean Payton was the coach in Denver. The domino effect is truly wild — and in some cases, it's tough to keep track of. TRADE NO.

Never flashy or full of himself, Amari Cooper downplayed his record-setting performance a few weeks ago in Houston. Cooper had a game unlike any in Browns' history. The Texans had no chance against Cooper.

C.J. Stroud and the rest of Houston’s rookies started a group chat soon after the draft to discuss their goals. “And we were like, ‘Man, we’re going to be the foundation that changes this thing around,’ and lo and behold, that’s ... what came to be true,” Stroud said. Stroud, the second overall pick, is the only rookie starting quarterback to make the playoffs this season, and the 22-year-old will face off against the oldest QB in the postseason...

Houston lost for the second time in three games this past weekend and now the Texans must wait to see if star rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud can return Sunday to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive. The Texans (8-7) suffered a 36-22 loss to Cleveland behind a subpar performance from Case Keenum in his second game filling in for Stroud, who sustained a concussion Dec. 10. Coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud is improving and returned to team meetings late last week, but the second overall pick h...

When the NFL schedule was released in May, the game between the Browns and Texans on Sunday was expected to be an intriguing matchup. Deshaun Watson, Houston’s former star quarterback, would square off for Cleveland against rookie C.J. Stroud, the Texans' new franchise signal caller.

Houston’s win over Tennessee on Sunday was a throwback, as a quarterback from the Texans' past led them to the thrilling overtime victory with C.J. Stroud out with a concussion. Case Keenum hadn’t started a game since the 2021 season and hadn’t played at all this year before throwing for 229 yards and a touchdown in the 19-16 win that kept Houston's playoff hopes alive. It’s unclear if Stroud will be cleared to return this weekend.
