The Cleveland Browns will close out the preseason on Saturday with a home game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Joe Flacco will get the start at quarterback, and an unspecified number of starters and veterans will also see action for about 20 to 25 plays, as the Browns use the game as a warm-up to the season opener on September 7.
Once Flacco takes a seat, the Browns will roll first with rookie Dillon Gabriel and then fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. That is contingent
on Sanders not having any setbacks with the oblique injury that sidelined him for last weekend’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but things are looking good for the home fans to get their first in-person look at Sanders.
Other than getting the starters some reps, getting a first look at wide receiver Isaiah Bond, and finishing their first unbeaten preseason since 2021, Saturday’s game is all about getting through the afternoon without any injuries and then turning the focus to Week 1 and the Cincinnati Bengals.
It’s the Browns vs. Rams on a Saturday afternoon, and here is everything you need to know about the game.

A Final Quote:
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders on his first NFL training camp (quote via a team-provided transcript):
“I would say I learned life in a different perspective, you know, and that’s why I come here, I’m happy I always got good energy because I’m blessed to come out here every day, regardless the situation, regardless of anything. I know my time, whenever that is, I’ll be ready for it, and I’m going to embrace that. But in due time, I got many things I need to fix, many things I need to work on, and I’m not oblivious to that. So all I look at as is I’m getting more time to cook, I’m getting more time to warm up, that’s all it is.”
