Overview
- The Browns host the Bills at Huntington Bank Field on Saturday in a game televised by NFL Network with streaming options on services offering free trials.
- Both teams held a joint practice earlier in the week and are using the game mainly to give live reps to backups and evaluate players fighting for final roster spots.
- Buffalo opened the preseason with a 29-14 win in which Josh Allen played only two series, and coaches are expected to again limit starter snaps to protect health.
- Cleveland, coming off a 34-10 preseason loss, plans to start Shedeur Sanders this week while its defense led by Myles Garrett presents a tough test for bills' depth players.
- Coaches and evaluators will watch how Leonhard's shift to an attack-based 3-4 changes personnel needs on Buffalo's defense and how that could shape final 53-man decisions.
