Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s Dan Labbe believes Elgton Jenkins will likely play center for the Browns in 2026.

There is a bit of an out in Labbe’s analysis, which is that this is contingent on Joel Bitonio returning to the team rather than retiring. Bitonio has yet to make a decision if he’ll return or not. If not, Jenkins and Zion Johnson would likely both play guard. Jenkins has said he’s open to playing either position to help the team.
