Cleveland released its unofficial depth chart ahead of the preseason opener against Chicago, and it offers one of the clearest looks yet at how Todd Monken and his staff currently view the roster heading into game action that actually counts. Andrew Siciliano shared the full breakdown as it circulated among Browns fans on Monday, giving a snapshot of where every position group stands after twelve practices of training camp. While plenty of the specific placements simply confirm what has already played out publicly through daily practice reports, a handful of details stand out as particularly telling about the direction this roster is heading.

The quarterback room reflects exactly the uncertainty that has defined this entire summer, with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders listed together atop the depth chart rather than one name being placed clearly ahead of the other. Dillon Gabriel sits third on the chart, confirming once again that he remains outside the primary competition, while Taylen Green rounds out the room as the fourth arm in camp.
The offensive line shows Spencer Fano locked in as the starting left tackle, with Dawand Jones listed behind him as the top backup rather than sharing the starting spot the two competed for throughout the early weeks of camp. Elsewhere along the line, Teven Jenkins is still listed as the starting right guard, while Tytus Howard holds down right tackle.
At receiver, Denzel Boston appears as a starter alongside Jerry Jeudy, a notable placement given his status as a second-round rookie who has spent the summer building a case as one of the more productive pass catchers in the entire building. KC Concepcion is listed further down the chart in the slot role, continuing to develop behind an established group that also includes Tylan Wallace and Cedric Tillman. The defensive side of the ball shows Jared Verse and Mason Graham anchoring the front, while the secondary reflects the recent absence of Damarri Mathis, who landed on injured reserve just before this chart was released.
Depth charts released this early in the process always come with the caveat that positions remain fluid right up until final roster cuts, and Todd Monken has been clear all summer that competition will continue dictating playing time regardless of what any depth chart currently says. Still, this latest release offers Browns fans a genuinely useful snapshot of where things stand as Cleveland heads into its first preseason test against Chicago, with plenty still left to prove before the picture becomes permanent.
