Key Points:
- Browns head coach Todd Monken has not yet announced the starting quarterback for the first preseason game but confirmed that both Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will play.
- One quarterback will start this week’s game and play the first half plus a two-minute drill, while the other will start the following week and play the third quarter this week.
- Monken emphasized the ongoing competition between the quarterbacks and plans to assess their performance weekly throughout the preseason.
- The starting offensive line will play much of the first half with the starting quarterback, but adjustments will be made based on the Bears’ defensive lineup to give the quarterbacks a fair chance.
- Monken will inform Sanders and Watson of the playing time plan after Wednesday’s practice, with details expected to be revealed later that day.
