Browns rotate three quarterbacks in preseason loss to Bears

Cleveland fell 34-10 to the Chicago Bears in a preseason game on the road, rotating three quarterbacks as part of the team's evaluation process. Deshaun Watson started and played the first half, leading the offense to all of the Browns' points. Shedeur Sanders took over in the third quarter and moved the ball into the red-zone area, while Dillon Gabriel handled the fourth quarter and also approached scoring range before time expired. Head coach Todd Monken chose not to call timeouts to extend each quarterback's opportunities, opting instead to keep the rotation schedule.

"We wanted to give each quarterback a chance to see reps in game-like situations," Monken said. The performance sparked discussion about the future of the quarterback position, but the coaching staff emphasized that the preseason is primarily a developmental setting.
