Week 1 of the NFL preseason wraps up Saturday, and we have seven games to enjoy, with the action starting at 1 p.m. ET and not wrapping up until around 11 p.m.
In the early slate, which has three contests, we will get our first look at the NFL’s most highly publicized quarterback as the Cleveland Browns take on the Bears in Chicago. Deshaun Watson, who will start, may have the inside track at winning the starting job. However, Shedeur Sanders will also receive reps, getting his chance to prove to head coach Todd Monken that he should be QB1. Sanders will start the Browns’ second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills next Saturday.
Later today, the Kansas City Chiefs will take the field for the first time since their surprising 6-11 campaign. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will not play, but Justin Fields will see his first action with his new team. The Chiefs are hosting the Los Angeles Rams, who are the preseason favorites to win Super Bowl LXI following their remarkable offseason, which included trading for All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett. Stetson Bennett will start at quarterback, while first-round pick Ty Simpson will back him up.
Stay with us throughout the day as we break down the biggest highlights, injuries, rookie performances and more as Saturday’s preseason action unfolds.
