Source: Gregg Williams to replace Ray Horton as Browns DC

The Cleveland Browns have fired defensive coordinator and replaced him with Gregg Williams, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, confirming multiple reports.

The move comes after the Browns finished 1-15 in head coach Hue Jackson's first season in Cleveland. Horton left the Tennessee Titans to join Jackson with the Browns.

Williams had previously been the Los Angeles Rams' defensive coordinator, but with head coach Jeff Fisher being let go during the season, Rams assistants were free to seek other employment.
