The Cleveland Browns are heading into their final preseason game with a bit of turmoil fueling things for them. They are coming off naming Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback, who will not play in the game, nor will backup Shedeur Sanders.
Instead, the Browns and head coach Todd Monken want to see what they have in young signal-caller Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green.
But it isn't just there that the team is having position battles. The team also needs to find some more depth in their secondary and defensive line, and they are still working pieces around on the offensive line. It may be a final preseason game, but ahead of roster cuts on Sunday, it is going to prove to be a big one.
Here is our preview of the pivotal game for so many on
the roster.
