The Chicago Bears will let their new starting quarterback get some snaps with the first team when they visit the Cleveland Browns later tonight. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8 PM EST from Soldier Field.

Rookie Kyle quarterback Orton is expected to start tonight. It will be a dress rehearsal of sorts as he is expected to be the Chicago Bears regular season starter. Rookie running back Cedric Benson finally ended his holdout and joined the team but he will not dress for tonight's contest. The current starting running back, Thomas Jones, probably won't see much playing time so Adrian Peterson will get the majority of snaps.

Rookie Charlie Frye and veteran Doug Johnson will battle for the backup quarterback position tonight. Starter Trent Dilfer will likely be held out. Rookie WR Braylon Edwards has looked impressive thus far in the offseason, but a slight shoulder injury suffered in last week's contest could keep him out of this game. Cornerback Gary Baxter and running back Lee Suggs will definitely be out due to injuries.
