Who is the Browns' starting QB today? Flacco, Sanders, Gabriel in mix
The Cleveland Browns have already named their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the regular season. But who is the Browns' starting quarterback today against the Los Angeles Rams?
According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, veteran Joe Flacco will make his first start of this year's preseason on Saturday ahead of his Week 1 start to begin the regular season. Rookie third-round pick Dillon Gabriel will be active as Flacco's backup against the Rams. Fellow rookie and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders should be active as well, Stefanski said, barring any setbacks from his oblique injury.
The Browns' matchup with the Rams in each team's preseason finale will kick off in Cleveland at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday.
NFL Network will broadcast the game to a national audience, and fans around the country can stream the game with an NFL+ subscription or with Fubo, which offers a free trial.
