The Cleveland Browns trotted out a trio of quarterbacks on Friday night in their preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The lone holdout was Jacoby Brissett - but that is all about to change for the seventh-year veteran.
On Saturday, head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Brissett will begin receiving the majority of the practice reps with the starting offense on Sunday as the Browns prepare to open the regular season without quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is still facing a suspension by the NFL for violations of the league’s personal conduct policy (quote via a team-provided transcript):
“Yes, and that has been the plan really from the beginning is just to at some point let Jacoby get the majority of them, still work Deshaun, still work (QB) Josh Dobbs and still work (QB) Josh Rosen, but Jacoby will get the majority starting this block.
