Jets | NYJ starting QB to be named next week
New York Jets QBs Josh McCown and Christian Hackenberg have been competing for the starting quarterback job during training camp, and head coach Todd Bowles said he will name the starting quarterback Monday, Aug. 28.

Browns | Isaiah Crowell not expected to play
Cleveland Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (groin) is not expected to play in the preseason game against the New York Giants Monday, Aug. 21.
