CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns rookie defensive end Myles Garrett is eager to put himself on the NFL map tonight against the Saints, but it won't be a Brees.

Saints 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees will sit out the first preseason game for both clubs tonight at FirstEnergy Stadium, according to an ESPN report. He'll join star running backs Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram on the bench.

But the Saints will still try to keep Garrett from getting near their other three quarterbacks, likely starter Chase Daniel, Garrett Grayson and Ryan Nassib, the older brother of Browns defensive end Carl Nassib.

One Saints' player told ESPN's Diana Russini he's looking forward to "christening of the first pick in the 2017 draft.''

I want to make Garrett look bad since we didn't pick him......

I am not disappointed in this news. We don't need anything crazy to happen in the first preseason game.

That will be hard to do without Brees playing.

I agree! Being down a couple of offensive linemen in a meaningless (for the guaranteed starters) game? Hell yeah. Good move.
