One of the early-season's stingiest defenses has fallen on hard times of late with Desmond Bryant out of the lineup. As long as Bryant returns to full health and Barkevious Mingo develops into a difference-making pass rusher, this front seven can be among the NFL's most imposing. The secondary leans heavily on cornerback Joe Haden and strong safety T.J. Ward. The latter has expressed an interest in returning to Cleveland rather than testing free agency.
