Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders (0-0) are taking the field for the first time this preseason tonight against the Cleveland Browns (1-0).

The Browns pulled off a big comeback in the second half last week at the Hall of Fame Game, pulling out a win against the New York Jets.

This week, however, the Browns will look a little different with Deshaun Watson under center. Watson didn't play in the Browns' win last week.

For the Commanders, there will be a combination of second-year pro Sam Howell and veteran backup Jacoby Brissett, who played for the Browns last season. Howell is expected to be the team's starter going into the season, but Brissett can turn some heads with a strong performance against his former team.

Coach Ron Rivera and the Commanders hope that tonight's game can give them some momentum to build on as training camp continues.
