What happened: Todd Monken assigned Shedeur Sanders the second half, giving each quarterback two quarters. Saturday's game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

Why it matters: Cleveland has yet to choose a Week 1 starter, making the opener its first game-speed comparison. Watson is competing under a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract.

By the numbers: Watson has played in 19 of 68 possible regular-season games since joining Cleveland. He has 18 touchdown passes and 18 turnover-worthy plays in those appearances while missing 63 games over the past five seasons.

What to watch: Sanders is scheduled to start Aug. 22 against Buffalo. Monken plans to reassess the competition each week.
