    Originally, head coach Rob Chudzinski was considering giving the Cleveland Browns' first-teamers the start during Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears, with them seeing roughly 10-12 snaps of action. That led to LT Joe Thomas cracking to reporters that it has been a long time (2008, to be exact) since he's played in a fourth preseason game.

    Thomas' streak will extend another year, though, as Chudzinski announced today that the regular starters will not play against the Bears. Here are the roster highlights to be aware of for Thursday's game:

    At quarterback Jason Campbell will get the start, with Brandon Weeden having the final preseason game off for the second year in a row. That didn't work so well for him last year by the time the opener against Philly came. Brian Hoyer should see plenty of reps against the Bears to.
