What happened: Cleveland plans to continue its open quarterback competition in training camp, with practice reps subject to daily changes. The full roster is due July 28, one day before camp begins.

Why it matters: The competition will determine who leads the offense into Week 1 of the 2026 season. Coaches will use camp and preseason work to evaluate the candidates.

By the numbers: The Browns scheduled nine open practices from July 31 through Aug. 12. Their preseason opener is Aug. 15.

What to watch: Watch whether the rotation narrows before Cleveland's Aug. 20 joint practice.
