BEREA ― It was as easy as riding a bike. If, that is, Sam Kamara hadn't ridden a bike in nearly 10 months.

That changed in Week 5, when injuries at defensive tackle led Kamara to be elevated to the active roster for the Browns' 17-12 loss to the New York Jets . At that point, the fourth-year pro essentially hopped on the bike and started pedaling.

"Just went out there and did what I did," Kamara told the Beacon Journal this week. "I've been practicing for this for quite some time. People look at practice squad as you just being a practice-squad player, but I look at the extension of the roster. So I just went out there and worked my craft. I got the chance to play on Sunday, and made the most of it."
Kamara ended up playing 40 snaps against the Jets, 57% of the Browns' defensive snaps. He was credited three tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit and, most notably, a sack.

For Kamara, there had to a balance to the way he approached the opportunity. Although aggressiveness was mandatory for the position, to be too aggressive would be to put the rest of the defense in harm's way.
"I would say, yeah, but also you got to do what got you here," Kamara said, "because I feel like sometimes guys try to overdo, try to do more than what got the here and they kind of end up falling in their way. So I feel like if you do what got you here, you're going to end up doing fine."
The Browns went into the Jets game down starter Mason Graham at defensive tackle, as well as backup Mike Hall Jr. Both sustained injuries in a Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

That left just veteran Maliek Collins and second-year pro Adin Huntington on the active roster at the position against New York. That's what opened the door for Kamara and Chris Williams to get call-ups for gameday.

Collins, Huntington and Kamara combined for three of the Browns' four sacks, and five of their nine tackles for loss. They also accounted for a combined eight of the team's 17 total pressures on Jets quarterback Geno Smith, according to Pro Football Focus.
"I mean, honestly, I always tell Sam, I mean, he's the most well-rounded D-tackle I feel like we got as far as playing the run, playing the pass, playing with great technique," Collins said this week. "I think that's a position Sam should always be in. Sam's a hell of a player."
Kamara's problem has come down to opportunity. The Browns initially picked him up in 2022 off the waiver wire from the Chicago Bears and signed him to the practice squad, beginning what is now a four-plus-year stint of bouncing between their practice squad and active roster.
Over that time in Cleveland, Kamara has played in 19 games, including two starts. However, his only season with more than four games played was 2024 when he played in 11.

However, that time in the organization provided a foundation of familiarity, even with a change this season in defensive coordinators from Jim Schwartz to Mike Rutenberg. That foundation was what Kamara built his performance in New York upon.
"Yeah, it's fairly easy," Kamara said. "Once you learn the system, the system's really straightforward — just go straight and disrupt everything. So it was all good. It wasn't nothing new I had to learn. So I felt like that made my job a lot easier."
The job may not be done, either. The injuries continue to be an issue for the Browns, as Graham, Hall and Collins (foot) did not practice Oct. 14 at defensive tackle.

The Browns (3-2) have a key AFC North home game against the Baltimore Ravens (4-1) on Oct. 18. That could mean another opportunity for Kamara to step up on gameday.
If so, Kamara may have to help deal with Lamar Jackson, one of the NFL's best dual-threat quarterbacks, assuming Jackson plays. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player has missed the last game-and-a-half because of an ankle injury, with Tyler "Snoop" Huntley starting in his place, and did not practice Oct. 14 either.
"He's a great player," Kamara said. "Lamar's always a great player, but our defense is good, too. So we just got to stick to what we do and just let the chips fall where they may."
