The move fortifies the Browns' depth at defensive end after Alex Wright (Achilles) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Barnett appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Texans in 2025, finishing with 21 tackles (13 solo), including 5.0 sacks. With Wright on IR, Barnett figures to serve in a rotational role at defensive end for the Browns behind starters Jared Verse and Isaiah McGuire.
