The question that looms for the Browns defense heading into Saturday’s game against Baltimore is who they’re going to actually see playing quarterback for the Ravens. About the only answer they do know is that it’s almost certainly not going to be Lamar Jackson.

After that, the Browns are preparing for the Ravens with a big question mark over who’ll play the most important position on the football field. They’re not allowing that uncertainty impact their preparations for Baltimore.

“I wouldn’t say it is too much of a challenge,” cornerback Greg Newsome II said Tuesday. “I feel like their quarterbacks all kind of do around the same thing. They are not going to really change the offense as much as we have seen in the past. We played them last year when they didn’t have Lamar and kind of kept the offense pretty similar. I wouldn’t say it is too big of a challenge. At the end of the day, we just have to, whatever the game plan is, do our job and try to be as successful as we can.”
