The Cleveland Browns have re-signed guard Teven Jenkins as part of a major offensive line overhaul. The move comes after the entire starting unit entered free agency, leaving Cleveland to rebuild one of the NFL's most important positions.

Jenkins, 28, started four games at right guard in 2025 while battling through injuries along the line. He appeared in all 17 games last season after signing a one-year deal. The Browns also acquired tackle Tytus Howard in a trade with the Houston Texans and added free agent guard Zion Johnson on Monday.

A second-round pick in 2021, Jenkins spent his first four seasons with the Chicago Bears, making 38 starts at multiple positions but missing 22 games due to injury. In five NFL seasons, he's appeared in 62 games with 42 starts. His versatility and experience make him a valuable piece as Cleveland reshapes its offensive front for 2026.
