Cleveland Browns vs. Chicago Bears discussion: Deshaun Watson gets his first start
Dawgs By Nature • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns will debut head coach Todd Monken in their first preseason game against the Chicago Bears on August 15, 2026, at Soldier Field.
- The main focus of the preseason is the quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson, who will start and play the first half, and Shedeur Sanders, who will enter in the third quarter.
- Both quarterbacks have been performing well in practice, especially on long passes, with receivers KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, and Isaiah Bond standing out.
- Other starters are expected to play limited snaps, with the first-unit (excluding quarterback) likely seeing about one series to maintain chemistry between first- and second-team offenses.
- Fans can watch the game locally on WEWS Channel 5.1 and listen via ESPN 850 WKNR, 92.3 The Fan, or 98.5 FM WNCX, with a single game thread available for discussion throughout all four quarters.
