The Cleveland Browns have signed free agent edge rusher Bryan Cox to the 53-man roster. Cox was added Wednesday morning after the team’s waiving of linebacker Malik Jefferson was made official.
Cox has been in the NFL since 2017 after being undrafted out of Florida. He is the son of former Dolphins linebacker Bryan Cox. The younger Cox is bigger (6-3, 270 pounds) than his father and has played both defensive end and outside linebacker for the Carolina Panthers since entering the league. He made his 2019 debut in Week 9, recording one tackle in the Panthers’ win over Tennessee.
He was a rookie for the Panthers when current Browns defensive coordinator held that role in Carolina.
