Browns Narrow Seahawks Lead to 7-3 in Preseason Finale

The Cleveland Browns and the Seattle Seahawks close out the exhibition portion of their seasons on Saturday night at Lumen Field.

Earlier this week, the Browns plan was for starting quarterback Deshaun Watson to play at least a portion of the final warmup game in Seattle, but he was limited in practice on Wednesday with what coach Kevin Stefanski called "general arm soreness," offering speculation that he may still be injured.

Backup Jameis Winston got the start instead and played two series, leading the Browns to a punt and a turnover on downs after a 10-play, 61-yard drive.

The Browns went down 7-0 in the first quarter on the Seahawks' first possession of the game, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson took over for Winston on Cleveland's third possession.

DTR led the Browns' offense on a 10-play, 35-yard drive to put Dustin Hopkins in position for a 37-yard field goal to narrow the Seahawks' lead to 7-3 with 13:12 left in the first half.

DTR is embroiled in a battle with newcomer Tyler Huntley for the third quarterback spot and has outplayed Huntley this preseason.

Winston completed 6-of-9 passes for 63 yards before departing, while DTR went 5-for-9 for 32 yards early.
