CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is turning to a familiar face to fill one of the most important roles on his coaching staff. Christian Jones will be the new tight ends coach, a source confirmed for cleveland.com.

The Browns are hiring Christian Jones as their next tight ends coach, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Jones spent the 2024 season as the Giants assistant quarterbacks coach and will now reunite with Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland.
