  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: Officially named Week 10 starter

    The Browns announced Wednesday that Watson (concussion) will start Sunday's game against the Texans, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

    Watson cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol this past Saturday, but because he managed just one limited practice during Week 9 prep, the Browns opted to make him inactive for their matchup with the Saints. Shedeur Sanders drew his first start of the season and threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the 23-22 overtime loss in New Orleans, but he'll return to the No. 2 role this week while a healthy Watson reclaims the starting job. While the Browns have gone 5-3 with Watson under center this season, he hasn't been without his flaws (six turnovers, 33 sacks taken). As such, Watson may need a strong showing against the Texans to hold off Sanders for the starting job in the weeks to come.

  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: Remains in line to start Sunday

    Watson (concussion) will serve as the Browns' starting quarterback in Sunday's game against the Texans, a source tells Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com first reported Monday that Watson was in line for the Week 10 start, after his placement in concussion protocol during Week 9 kept him from playing in this past Sunday's 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints. Head coach Todd Monken then said later Monday that he wasn't ready to name a Week 10 starter between Watson and Shedeur Sanders, the latter of whom performed respectably in the loss to New Orleans. Ultimately, the Browns look like they'll go back to Watson, who cleared protocol Saturday and will be able to get in a full week of practice leading up to the matchup with the Texans. Watson guided the Browns to a 5-3 record through the first eight games while completing 65.5 percent of his passes and accounting for eight touchdowns (seven throwing, one rushing).

  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: On track to start Week 10

    The Browns are planning for Watson (concussion) to start Sunday's game against the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    After entering concussion protocol following the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, Watson was able to resume practicing in a limited fashion Friday and then passed neurological tests Saturday. However, because of the lack of prep time leading up to Sunday, Watson ended up being inactive for the Browns' 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints while Shedeur Sanders made his first start of the season. Though Sanders performed capably in the losing effort, Watson -- who helped lead Cleveland to a 5-3 record through its first eight games -- will retain the starting gig and will return to the lineup against Houston following a normal week of practice.

  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: Inactive for Week 9

    Watson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Watson, who reported concussion symptoms Tuesday, didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and subsequently heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' tag. Though Watson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, the Browns have elected to err on the side of caution with the QB who has compiled a 5-3 record as the team's starter to date. With Watson listed as inactive versus New Orleans, Shedeur Sanders will draw the start, while Dillon Gabriel will serve as Cleveland's No. 2 signal caller. Taylen Green is the team's emergency No. 3 QB.

  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: Likely inactive Sunday

    Watson (concussion) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    After reporting concussion symptoms Tuesday, Watson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before returning to a limited session Friday and earning a questionable tag ahead of Week 9 action. He then cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, per the Browns. Despite Watson getting the thumbs up from an independent neurologist, head coach Todd Monken already has announced Shedeur Sanders as Sunday's starter, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Dillon Gabriel will serve as the No. 2 QB this weekend. In the end, Watson is slated to be back in action next Sunday against the Texans.

  • Browns' Deshaun Watson: Clears concussion protocol, still questionable

    Watson (concussion) cleared the concussion protocol Saturday but remains questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

    Since Watson reported concussion symptoms Tuesday, he didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday before being limited Friday and earning a questionable tag for Week 9 action. Head coach Todd Monken relayed to Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site Friday that Shedeur Sanders will be the team's starting quarterback Sunday, so some possibilities for Watson this weekend are active as the backup or inactive as the emergency third QB.
