Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot reports the team is meeting in-person with Texans defensive pass game coordinator Cory Undlin for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

15 February 2026

Cabot believes head coach Todd Monken “could name his (defensive coordinator) in the next day or two.” Undlin has over two decades of experience coaching in the NFL, but his lone stint as a defensive coordinator came in 2020 with the Lions. Undlin is one of at least two candidates receiving a second interview for the job, with Falcons’ LB coach Mike Rutenberg also set to meet with the team in person.
