Browns re-sign DT Sam Kamara Kamara has appeared in 26 career games

MARCH 24 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

Staying in Cleveland Kamara is slated to re-sign with the Browns, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact The 28-year-old from Stony Brook is now in line to remain in Cleveland after spending his last four seasons with the team. Kamara has played in just 15 regular-season games over the last two seasons, recording 21 total tackles across 358 defensive snaps. He's expected to remain a depth piece on the Browns' defensive line during the 2026 season.

Now unrestricted free agent The Browns did not tender Kamara on Monday, making the Stony Brook product an unrestricted free agent, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara would have been a restricted free agent had the Browns placed a tender on him, but he'll now have the opportunity to sign with a team without the offer being matched by Cleveland. Kamara spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Browns' practice squad before signing to the team's active roster in early December, finishing with six tackles (three solo) across four games. He'll look to join a team in need of defensive line depth.

Practices fully Wednesday Kamara was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Kamara has missed the Browns' last two games with an elbow injury. He should return to a rotational role along Cleveland's defensive line in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Inactive for Week 17 Kamara (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Kamara missed the Browns' Week 16 loss to the Bills due to an elbow injury and will now miss consecutive games with the issue. The rotational defensive tackle's snap share will likely be transferred to fellow tackle Mike Hall. Adin Huntington may also see an increased defensive snap share in Kamara's absence.

Questionable to play vs. Pittsburgh Kamara (elbow) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Kamara was limited in practice all week due to an elbow injury that prevented him from playing against the Bills in Week 16. If he's unable to play Sunday, then Mike Hall and Adin Huntington would see more rotational snaps on the defensive line behind Shelby Harris and Mason Graham.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Wednesday's practice Kamara (elbow) was a limited participant in Cleveland's practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Kamara missed the Week 16 loss to the Bills due to an elbow injury but is seemingly trending toward making his return. The 28-year-old has recorded just 15 tackles (10 solo) across 11 games this season and will likely continue to see limited action should he manage to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not available vs. Buffalo Kamara (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Kamara was a limited practice participant during Week 16 prep due to an elbow injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Mike Hall (illness) is also inactive, so the Browns will lean on Adin Huntington, Keith Cooper and Maurice Hurst to serve as the rotational defensive tackles behind Shelby Harris and Mason Graham. Kamara's next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Impact The 27-year-old opened the Browns' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, but it now appears he won't be available for Sunday's contest.
