Brock Osweiler will get the first crack at winning the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback job, as head coach Hue Jackson named him the starter for Thursday's preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints.
"At this stage in the evaluation process of our quarterbacks, we are going to have Brock start the preseason opener against the Saints on Thursday night," Jackson said Monday, per the team's official site.
"A lot goes into our evaluation but it's always going to be about efficiently and effectively running the offense. You want your starter to be able to do that despite any circumstance.
