After Shedeur Sanders played well against the Saints, many want to know if he’ll be the starting quarterback moving forward.
The Cleveland Browns started Shedeur Sanders in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints with Deshaun Watson being ruled out due to a concussion. Sanders almost led the Browns to a win, and there was skepticism about whether he would be the starter moving forward. That thought was short-lived, as Watson is set to take back his starting spot in the Browns’ next game against the Houston Texans.
“The Browns plan to start Deshaun Watson in Week 10 vs the Texans, per source. Shedeur Sanders filled in Sunday in New Orleans, but returning to Watson was the expected move once he cleared concussion protocol,” Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Sanders finished the game against the Saints throwing for 297 passing yards for two touchdowns and no interceptions. After the game, Sanders spoke about being able to come in for Watson and try to put the Browns in position to win.
“Deshaun did a great job this whole year leading the team. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to play today, and I had to step in and get the rhythm of the team and get the feeling, get everything back,” Sanders said via News 5 Cleveland’s Camryn Justice.
Head coach Todd Monken mentioned after the game that he didn’t want to talk about who would be the starting quarterback moving forward.
“Monken said he’s not ready to talk about the quarterback situation,” Zac Jackson of The Athletic wrote on X. “He was mostly saying it’s 15 minutes after a game. He wants to talk about the game. There’s no good answer he could give in this spot even if he thinks there’s a real decision to make.”
Watson has gotten the Browns this far into the season, so there’s no surprise that they’re going back to him.
