The Browns open their preseason on Thursday night against Washington. This is a strange preseason for Browns fans used to quarterback battles and preseason games carrying some semblance of meaning.

Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe and Scott Patsko looked ahead to Thursday night and picked out six things they're watching for in the game.

They include:

the kickers;

Odell Beckham (if he plays);

the wide receivers;

the run game;

young linebackers;

right guard;

plus two bonus topics.
