One of the many reasons that looking too far ahead on an NFL schedule is silly, especially when they first come out, is that injuries are a huge part of the sport. In 2023, the NFL has seen a myriad of quarterbacks go out for the season, or most of it, starting in Week 1 with Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets.
He was joined by Kirk Cousins, Daniel Jones, Joe Burrow and Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson as the season went on.
The Browns schedule now closes with teams that expected to have Rodgers and Burrow but could be down to Tim Boyle and Jake Browning.
