Time: 7:00 p.m. C.T.

Teams: Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets

TV: NBC

Stream: FuboTV

The Browns and Jets will be featured in the 2023 NFL Hall of Fame Game. Former Browns left tackle Joe Thomas and former Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis and defensive tackle Joe Klecko are among this year’s Hall of Fame inductees.

The other six inductees are cornerback Ronde Barber, linebacker Chuck Howley, cornerback Ken Riley, inside linebacker Zach Thomas, outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware, and head coach Don Coryell.

It remains to be seen if the two teams will play their starters in the exhibition. Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars both elected to sit their starting quarterbacks.

So, it is certainly possible that starting quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers will not see the field. If they do not play, backup quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs and Zach Wilson should see extended action.
