The Browns’ decision to hold Joe Flacco out of their first two preseason games this summer was a sign that he was the likeliest choice to be their starting quarterback and head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that’s the case on Monday.

Now that Flacco has been installed as the starter, he expects the team to change course when it comes to preseason playing time. Flacco said he is planning on playing against the Rams on Saturday and that it will be a positive for the team to do a “little bit of a game plan” with some certainty about how the offense will look in the opener.

“I do expect to,” Flacco said at a press conference. “I think there’s a lot of value in preparing yourself to go play a football game and getting your mindset ready for that.”
