Browns coach to announce starting quarterback on Monday amid Watson speculation

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is set to confirm the team's starting quarterback on Monday, according to reports. While Monken has not disclosed his decision, analysts note that he may give Deshaun Watson the first two games, both on the road against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, to assess his performance. If the Browns begin the season with two wins, the atmosphere could shift before their home opener in Week 3 against the Panthers. Monken is scheduled to speak to reporters at 12:50 p.m. ET on Monday, and the official announcement is expected shortly thereafter.
