Who'll start Browns preseason opener vs. Bears? Answer's coming post-practice

Todd Monken is expected to announce his starting quarterback for the preseason opener against the Chicago Bears following practice Aug. 12.

BEREA — The decision on who will start as the Cleveland Browns' preseason quarterback for their opener against the Chicago Bears has been made, though the announcement will be withheld until after the team's 13th training camp practice on August 12.

Coach Todd Monken revealed that the choice will not be disclosed until following the completion of that practice, which includes Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, the two quarterbacks vying for the starting position. Monken intends to inform the two players about the decision post-practice.

Monken indicated that the starting quarterback is likely to play the entire first half against the Bears, while the bench quarterback is expected to take the field during the third quarter. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the starters will be swapped for the second preseason game on August 22, a home match against the Buffalo Bills.

The Browns also share a joint practice with the Bills on August 20. This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
