The Seattle Seahawks are set to take the field for their first action at Lumen Field for the year, as they host the Cleveland Browns in the preseason finale. Several Seahawks starters are set to play, at least a few series, against the Browns. However, there will be one notable exception on Cleveland’s side.
The Browns have already ruled out quarterback Deshaun Watson from the preseason finale. The embattled quarterback has constantly dealt with injuries and has barely seen any action as a member of the Browns. Saturday night will be yet another game he is not a participant in.

The Seahawks’ only action against Watson still remains in his rookie season of 2017. Seattle hosted Watson and his former team, the Houston Texans in a wild 41-38 shootout. Watson wildly impressed the crowd, as he passed for 402 yards and 4 touchdowns, against 3 interceptions.
It has been a long road for Watson since then, as injuries and extreme off-field controversy have muddled his one promising career.
The Seahawks will kick off against Cleveland at 7:00 pm Pacific time on Saturday night.
