Veteran Deshaun Watson will be the first signal caller under center when Cleveland takes on the Chicago Bears on Saturday. The hope is to play Watson for one half.

The Steelers host the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener Thursday at Acrisure Stadium.
>>JJ McCarthy Says QB Decision Out Of His Control
(Eagan, MN) — JJ McCarthy is finding peace with being named the Vikings’ backup. McCarthy said Wednesday the decision to name Kyler Murray the team’s starting quarterback was out of his control. The 23-year-old mentioned that a number of things were out of his control, citing Wednesday’s heat as a potential factor. Minnesota selected McCarthy with the 10th pick in the 2024 draft. The Vikings open the preseason when they visit the New York Giants on Saturday.
