Browns set to reinstate Watson as starter for Week 10 after Saints loss
NBC Sports reported that the Cleveland Browns planned to start quarterback Deshaun Watson against the Houston Texans in Week 10. Earlier in the week, NBC Sports said Watson had been placed in the concussion protocol after reporting symptoms, leaving rookie Shedeur Sanders as the likely starter for the matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Cleveland. com confirmed that Sanders was named the starter, and Bleacher Report noted that Watson was listed as questionable while Dillon Gabriel was promoted to the backup role.
Fox News added that Sanders would start after Watson’s doubtful status prompted the team to release a promotional video. In the ensuing game, CBS Sports reported that the Saints defeated the Browns 23-22 in overtime, with Tyler Shough scoring the winning touchdown and Cleveland missing a two-point conversion. Andscape highlighted Sanders’ debut, noting he threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns, reigniting the quarterback debate.
