Most of the starters are expected to sit this one out, including Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers when the two teams kick off from Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.

While Rodgers watches his first game with the New York Jets, Deshaun Watson will be on the opposite sideline. the Cleveland Browns will also keep Watson out of the NFL’s first exhibition game. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said third-stringer Kellen Mond, who signed with Cleveland last season, will start against the Jets and that rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson will also get some extended time.

Jets coach Robert Saleh had already announced that Rodgers wouldn’t play and reiterated that backup Zach Wilson, the 2021 No. 2 overall pick who has struggled as a pro, will start against the Browns.
