What happened: Green completed 5 of 7 passes for 27 yards and rushed eight times for 66 yards in a 37-13 preseason win. He led a 98-yard touchdown drive in his NFL debut.

Why it matters: The outing gave Cleveland another evaluation point before final roster cuts. Green finished as the team's leading rusher despite playing only the second half.

By the numbers: Green averaged 8.3 yards per carry and completed 71.4% of his passes.

What to watch: Cleveland must decide Green's place on the quarterback depth chart before the regular season.
