In the Cleveland Browns' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks, backup quarterback Jameis Winston will start instead of Deshaun Watson, who is dealing with arm soreness following his recovery from a shoulder injury. Coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that Watson’s game time is uncertain, although he participated fully in practice before the game. On the other side, the Seahawks plan to give their starters, including quarterback Geno Smith, their first extensive run of the preseason, with the focus on avoiding injuries and evaluating bubble players for roster cuts. The Browns are also facing challenges with injuries, particularly at the left tackle position, as they prepare to finalize their 53-man roster. The game serves as a critical opportunity for backups and less established players to secure their spots before the regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are looking to navigate injury concerns while honing their strategies ahead of the upcoming season.
