Cleveland Browns: 5 Browns who need great games vs Colts

The Cleveland Browns play the Indianapolis Colts in the second preseason game of 2019, and these five Browns players have the most to prove.

After two join practices against the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Browns will get the chance to play the team they  brawled with Indiana during preseason Week 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The second and third preseason contest are the biggest games on the exhibition schedule because it’s when the starters usually play the most.

With that said, the Browns seem to be taking things extra cautiously. Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) doesn’t look like he’ll play. Baker Mayfield played a series against the Redskins, but if he leads another TD drive on his first series, you’ve got to wonder if coach Freddie Kitchens will fill the need to run him back out there.

The Browns have to be chomping at the bit to play the Colts, after reports of fighting dominated the second day of the joint practice at the Colts’ practice facility.

It’s the dog days of summer and the position battles are heading up. Jobs are on the line. Veterans are are trying to stave off rookies. Uknowns are fighting for jobs. Who says the preseason is boring. Not me!

Here’s the five Browns who could use a great game when the exhibition kicks off at 4 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium.
