Game preview

After sitting most of his key players in the Browns' first two preseason games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski will use Sunday's matchup vs. Atlanta as a dress rehearsal of sorts. In addition to Mayfield, other select Browns starters will see limited playing time, although it remains unclear which players will and won't be seeing the field for Cleveland on Sunday.

With two weeks to go until the start of the 2021 season, the Browns will look to use Sunday's preseason finale to build momentum heading into a highly anticipated Week 1 matchup vs. the Chiefs. Additionally, Sunday will mark the final chance for several players on the fringe of Cleveland's roster to make a final impression before the team selects its 53-man roster this week.
