Browns vs Falcons live stream: How to watch the NFL preseason online

The Browns vs Falcons live stream tonight gives players one last chance to make an NFL roster before the league’s final cuts on Tuesday. Who will make the most of their final opportunity in this NFL live stream?

This offseason the Cleveland Browns added Jadeveon Clowney to a pass rush that already featured Myles Garrett. The Browns just needed to add to the secondary in the draft that followed the Clowney signing. 

With the twenty sixth overall pick they selected cornerback Greg Newsome II and the rookie may have already locked up a starters’ role. Greedy Newsome strained his groin last week, and Newsome has caught a lot of attention as he’s received first team reps. 

“It’s natural for a rookie to feel more comfortable when the reps pile up,” Browns’ head coach Kevin Stefanski said this week when asked about Newsome’s progression, “He’s gaining really good experience out there.” Newsome will look to further his chances to be named the starter in this preseason match-up with the Falcons. 

If Atlanta fans are looking to see their franchise quarterback Matt Ryan get his first reps of the preseason, they’ll likely be disappointed. Ryan is expected to sit this game out. “I feel really good with where we’re at” Ryan told the media this week when asked if he’ll play against the Browns, “The joint practices with Miami really helped. At this point in my career whatever [Coach Smith] asks me to do Sunday night, I’ll be ready to go.

While Ryan will likely sit the finale out, Smith said earlier in the week that newly acquired quarterback Josh Rosen will play Sunday night. “You’ll see [Rosen] Sunday night at some point,” Smith told reporters Wednesday. “Our plan is to obviously give him a shot this week.” The Falcons mark the fifth team Rosen has spent time with since being drafted by the Cardinals tenth overall in 2018. He will compete with Feleipe Franks for the right to back-up Ryan this season. As for right now the Falcons team website literally has both slotted in as their number two QB. 

The Browns are 6-point road favorites against the Falcons. The over/under is 36.
