With two preseason games in the books, the Browns roster continues to take shape. This year’s preseason doesn’t feature the highly-touted position battles of the past, which in retrospect is a breathe of fresh air for the long-plagued franchise.
Still, there are notable competitions at right guard, left-side cornerback and kicker. Those battles and others for key backup and special teams roles will continue to sort themselves out over the next two weeks, before the required roster cutdown day on August 31.
Based on what we’ve seen so far though, here is a halfway through the preseason, 53-man roster prediction:
Quarterback (3)
Baker Mayfield, Drew Stanton, Garrett Gilbert
Cut: David Blough
I’m convinced Freddie Kitchens is keeping three quarterbacks.
