FRISCO, Texas — As Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer closes in on finalizing his staff, he is expected to add Ken Dorsey, the former offensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, as a pass-game specialist, a source told ESPN on Monday.

Dorsey was fired by the Browns last month after Cleveland ranked 28th in total offense and 32nd in scoring. In 2023, he was the Bills’ offensive coordinator but was let go during the season.

Dorsey will have an on-field role with the Cowboys, working with Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams. Chase Haslett was the Cowboys’ pass-game specialist in 2024 under coach Mike McCarthy after working with the tight ends from 2020 to 2023.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski turned over playcalling duties to Dorsey days after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending right Achilles tendon tear Oct. 20. With Jameis Winston inserted as the starter and Dorsey calling plays, the offense showed some improvement as the Browns upset the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
