CLEVELAND -- The entire 2019 NFL schedule won't be released until 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. But we already know when Odell Beckham Jr. will be making his Cleveland Browns debut.
Just as they have the past two seasons, the Browns will open their 2019 campaign at FirstEnergy Stadium -- although this time, they won't be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rather, Cleveland will play host to the Tennessee Titans, in a 1 p.m. ET kickoff to be aired on CBS.
Based on multiple reports, the following contests will be included on the Browns' 2019 slate:
- Sep. 8 vs. Tennessee Titans (1 p.m. ET)
- Sep. 16 at New York Jets (Monday Night Football)
- Oct. 27 at New England Patriots (4:25 p.m. ET)
- Nov. 10 vs. Buffalo Bills (1 p.m. ET)
While Cleveland is expected to be featured prominently in primetime this season, of the games to have leaked, only two (the Titans and Patriots games) count against the six-game limit teams receive for being featured in nationally televised contests. In addition to their Week 2 Monday Night matchup vs. New York, the Browns are also expected to play in at least one Sunday and Thursday night matchup.
