However, there will be a change for Cleveland’s defense in 2026. A few days after new Browns head coach Todd Monken conducted his introductory press conference in February, Jim Schwartz resigned after three seasons as the defensive coordinator. Mike Rutenberg will serve as the Browns’ DC for Schwesinger’s second season.
Despite the coordinator change, Schwesinger is seeking ways to take his play to another level for Cleveland’s defense.
“There’s a lot of things to get better at, whether it’s just the preparation throughout the week, game week and figuring out really what to watch, how to watch film and things like that,” he said. “But even just at this time, whether it’s improving the football knowledge football intelligence, right? Or just finding better ways to attack the ball and really get those punch outs.
“I think that’s something really going to work on this year. Just continuing to grow in terms of patience behind the ball and being able to see things and being ready by the snap.”
Schwesinger and the Browns will begin preparing for Monken’s first season in Cleveland when organized team activities on May 19.
