Overview
- Martin Emerson Jr., who started for Cleveland from 2022 to 2024, visited the Houston Texans on Monday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
- Browns GM Andrew Berry said the door is likely closed on re-signing Emerson because Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell are locked in as the outside starters.
- Emerson missed the entire 2025 season after a torn Achilles in training camp, and recent reports say his rehab is progressing with expectations he can play in 2026.
- Any offer is expected to be a low-cost deal, with Emerson projected to compete for depth snaps behind Houston’s top corners Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter.
- Across his first three seasons in Cleveland, Emerson logged 33 starts with 202 tackles, 34 passes defensed, and 4 interceptions, giving interested teams a track record to weigh against his injury recovery.
