Bears vs. Browns live updates: Tracking Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson
Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will make their 2026 preseason debuts today against the Bears. USA TODAY Sports is tracking their performances.
Cleveland's quarterback competition intensified this past Monday when the Browns met the Chicago Bears in their preseason opener. First-year coach Todd Monken chose veteran Deshaun Watson to be the starter for the first half, with rookie Shedeur Sanders set to take over for the third quarter. Monken has yet to reveal his decision on who will be the team's primary quarterback for the 2026 season.
Both teams' rookies, KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, will make their NFL debuts during Saturday's game, while Cleveland's new offensive line, comprising four new starters, will have a chance to gel. Meanwhile, Chicago will sit star quarterback Caleb Williams and likely have backup Tyson Bagent start the contest.
