Cleveland hosts Los Angeles in a preseason finale that doubles as a Week 1 tune‑up. The Browns will scout five Rams players to slow the offense and test depth: Stetson Bennett IV, Cam Lampkin, KT Leveston, Shaun Dolac, and Jarquez Hunter. Also in focus are Rams standouts Nate Valcarcel and Brennan Presley, who could swing the outcome as Cleveland evaluates its roster for RB3 and other depth roles.

Bennett has the Rams’ offense humming with two preseason games, delivering 512 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 picks, while Lampkin flashed elite coverage early and Leveston posted elite run blocking. Dolac has impressed at linebacker, and Hunter is the streaky back carrying the Rams’ ground game. Cleveland must neutralize the run and contain Bennett’s timing to keep the dress rehearsal from tilting away from them.

The Browns will lean into roster decisions behind Pierre Strong Jr. and Ahmani Marshall and aim to limit big plays from the Rams’ first unit. Defensively, Cleveland looks to pressure Bennett and disrupt the rhythm of a rolling Rams attack, while sorting through its own RB3 battle and evaluating depth pieces for the 53.
