Cleveland Browns final 53-man roster projection for 2022: Brissett in line to start at QB

The Cleveland Browns open the 2022 season at the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 11 at Bank of America Stadium.

And Jacoby Brissett -- not Deshaun Watson -- is in line to be the starter at quarterback for that game.

On Aug. 18, the NFL and NFL Players Association agreed on a disciplinary settlement for Watson, who will serve an 11-game suspension and pay a $5 million fine after he was accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage sessions. Watson will return in Week 13 against his former team, the Houston Texans.
