Taylen Green may be backup quarterback and see a few snaps in Week 1
Deshaun Watson will be starting at quarterback for the Browns in Week 1, but head coach Todd Monken left the door open to the possibility that another quarterback could also see playing time against the Jaguars. Rookie Taylen Green made the 53-man roster and Monken was asked at a Monday press conference if the team could possibly have a package of plays in the playbook to take advantage of the sixth-round pick’s athleticism. “There could be a package where we have him,” Monken said. Monken went on to stress that it is a possibility rather than something the team is actively planning to have in place and that “three’s a lot” when asked about having Green active alongside Watson and backup Shedeur Sanders. The Jaguars probably won’t be losing much sleep about that possibility, but it will be something to watch out for if Green avoids the inactive list on Sunday afternoon

Preseason game discussion
Green completed five of seven passes for 27 yards while rushing eight times for 66 yards in Thursday's 37-13 preseason win over the Patriots. Green got his first taste of NFL game action by playing the second half of Thursday's preseason finale after Dillon Gabriel tossed three first-half touchdowns. The rookie sixth-round pick out of Arkansas wasn't asked to do much as a passer, but Green showed off his mobility and finished as the team's leading rusher. Green had 16 rushing touchdowns in two years at Arkansas after scoring 19 across his preceding two seasons at Boise State, but he likely needs some development as a passer, and he's set to open the regular season as the fourth option on Cleveland's QB depth chart behind Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Gabriel
