BROWNS UPDATE: QB Charlie Frye will make his third start of the preseason. He went 5-for-7 for 68 yards and a 102.1 rating vs. the Broncos and should solidify his status as the opening-day starter with a good effort tonight.
• Derek Anderson is barely hanging on in the battle for the starting spot while fighting for a roster spot. He will follow Frye and hasn’t led a touchdown drive in the preseason.
• Rookie Brady Quinn will be the third quarterback to play and could see extensive action. He is 20-for-31 for 236 yards, three TDs and a 119.8 rating in two games.
• Crennel said the starters who are healthy will play, but he didn’t say for how long.
• K Phil Dawson is 4-for-6 on field goals in the preseason.
• Braylon Edwards leads Browns receivers with six catches.
• Rookie CB Eric Wright, who started the first three games, officially passed veteran Kenny Wright on the depth chart.
• G Eric Steinbach, RT Kevin Shaffer, LB Andra Davis, FB Lawrence Vickers and DE Orpheus Roye won’t play, but the team’s hoping they’ll be back for the opener.
BEARS UPDATE: Chicago is 3-0 in the preseason for the first time since 1994, when it went 4-0.
• LB Lance Briggs was involved in a one-car accident early Monday morning, but wasn’t injured. He crashed his Lamborghini and left the scene.
