What is the story about?

The New England Patriots close out their 2026 preseason schedule with a head-to-head clash against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.

Although it has not been confirmed, the Patriots are not expected to play their starters in this matchup. So there should be plenty of reps for rookie quarterback Behren Morton under center for this final exhibition game.

Morton led the Patriots on a 73-yard game-winning touchdown drive in last week's preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll see if he can conjure up the same success on the road against a Browns team coming off back-to-back losses to the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears.
