The Cleveland Browns are down in Florida for a preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The third preseason game is the one fans look forward to, as the starters play for more than just a handful of plays.

The Cleveland Browns are set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight, with the game featuring the return of Josh Gordon to the football field for the first time since the end of the 2014 season.

He will be joined by rookie Corey Coleman, who will be making his professional debut after sitting out the first two weeks because of an injured hamstring.

This will finally give Browns fans a glimpse at the full slate of the receiving corps, as Gordon and Coleman will be joined by Terrelle Pryor in the new look group for the Browns in 2016. Gordon still has to serve a four-game suspension to start the season, but tonight will be a preview of the offense upon his return.

It will also give fans a good look at how Robert Griffin III plays with the group of receivers, as he has mostly been throwing to projected backups throughout the preseason. After his exciting connections with Pryor during the first two games, it remains to be seen what he can do with both Coleman and Gordon on the field.

The game will hopefully leave Browns fans excited for the upcoming season, and will have people talking until next Thursday’s preseason finale against the Chicago Bears.
