Tommy Rees Promoted To Browns OC

8:06am EST 1/15/25

Tommy Rees Promoted To Browns OC

The Browns promoted TE coach Tommy Rees to OC. The 32-year-old becomes the youngest OC in the league. Rees was Notre Dame's starting QB just 12 years ago. He quickly flamed out in the NFL before getting into coaching. He most recently served as Notre Dame's OC from 2020-2022 and Alabama's OC in 2023 before joining the Browns last year. According to NFL Network, HC Kevin Stefanski is expected to take back over as the play-caller after giving those duties to former OC Ken Dorsey last year. The biggest question in Cleveland, of course, is who will be under center in 2025. QB Deshaun Watson is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season after re-tearing his Achilles. QB Jameis Winston is a free agent. We've already heard QB Kirk Cousins connected to Cleveland after he spent two seasons under Stefanski in Minnesota. Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, meanwhile, notes that Rees coached QB Jalen Milroe at Alabama. Milroe is expected to be a first- or second-round pick in this spring's draft.

The Browns have fired OC Ken Dorsey, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Cleveland ranks 28th in yards and dead last in points through 17 weeks. Despite shoddy QB play, the Browns lead the league in pass attempts and pass rate. We'll see if HC Kevin Stefanski keeps his job for 2025.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Saturday's finale vs. the Ravens. TE Jordan Akins will get another game as lead TE but is a shaky fantasy bet with Cleveland implied for only 11.5 points.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. That puts TE Jordan Akins back in the lead role, but he’s not a viable fantasy play with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He just got over a hamstring injury but picked up a knee injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals. Njoku is uncertain for this Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. We'll keep you posted on his status.
