Many fans and local sports personalities have wondered aloud whether the schedule will foreshadow the NFL's intent in regards to how it will handle a possible suspension of quarterback Deshaun Watson. The thinking is — the NFL would benefit from the Browns star quarterback appearing in prime-time games. Watson faces sexual assault allegations by 22 women, and the NFL has remained mum about what disciplinary actions may be taken.
Now that the schedule has been released, single-game tickets to the 2022 Browns home games will be publicly available on the Browns website and app. Tickets for the 2022 games will be limited. Fans can receive exclusive access to single-game tickets in the future by joining the Browns Waitlist for season tickets.
