The Cleveland Browns will begin their preseason with Deshaun Watson starting at quarterback on Saturday in Chicago, according to ESPN and Yahoo Sports. The decision was relayed to the team on Wednesday.
ESPN reported that Shedeur Sanders is scheduled to start the Browns' second preseason game, which will be played at home against the Bills. The move gives Cleveland a chance to evaluate both quarterbacks early in exhibition play.
Watson has been the Browns' most prominent quarterback since joining the team, while Sanders is among the players competing for snaps in camp. The preseason schedule will offer the club its first game action of the summer before the regular season begins.
