Browns release unofficial depth chart ahead of season opener vs. Bengals

Browns (Organization) USA TODAY Sports Cameron Mitchell Dalvin Tomlinson Denzel Ward Deshaun Watson Donovan PeoplesJones Jerome Ford Scott Galvin

We are now just five days away from Week 1 action as the Cleveland Browns are set for their season opener against their division rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals. And ahead of that matchup, the Browns have released their unofficial Week 1 depth chart headlined by quarterback Deshaun Watson. Of course, the quarterback was never a battle entering the season, but the same is not true for other positions on the roster.

Who is listed as the second starter next to Dalvin Tomlinson along the defensive front? Will the Browns give the nod to rookie Cameron Mitchell over veteran Mike Ford Jr. in the nickel if veteran Denzel Ward cannot clear the concussion protocol? Who will take over return duties after the All-Pro in Jakeem Grant Sr. suffered a season-ending patellar tendon tear in the preseason finale?
