Defensive coordinator Ray Horton returns to Browns; Kirby Wilson, Pep Hamilton, Al Saunders added to offensive staff

Defensive coordinator Ray Horton has left the Tennessee Titans and returned to the Browns.

New Browns coach Hue Jackson hired Horton on Wednesday to command the defense after interviewing him a day earlier.

Jackson has said he wants to call the plays on offense and doesn’t plan on hiring an offensive coordinator. But on Wednesday, he added a few key offensive assistants.

Former Minnesota Vikings running backs coach Kirby Wilson will serve as a running game coordinator, and ex-Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton was added to the staff along with longtime offensive assistant Al Saunders.
