CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns continued the process of getting their roster down to 53 players on Saturday morning, trading defensive tackle Chris Williams and a seventh-round pick in 2025 to the Bears in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025.

Williams is in his third season out of Wagner and originally signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He joined the Browns practice squad last December.

The 6-foot-3, 302 pound Williams, 26, has had a strong preseason, leading the Browns with two sacks, both last week against the Vikings, and four quarterback hits.

The Browns have a crowded group at defensive tackle and it’s one of the positions to keep an eye on ahead of cut-down day.

The Browns re-signed veterans Mo Hurst II and Shelby Harris and added free agent Quinton Jefferson and second-round pick Mike Hall Jr. to a interior line group headlined by Dalvin Tomlinson, one of GM Andrew Berry’s most expensive free agent acquisitions last offseason.

Tomlinson is currently on the Active/PUP list, but the hope at the beginning of training camp was he would be ready by the opener on Sept. 8 against the Cowboys at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The position presents some of the toughest decisions Berry will have to make, including what to do with one of his third-round picks from a year ago, Siaki Ika.
