Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson officially cleared concussion protocol, the team announced Saturday. That’s big news, right? You’d think so, but here’s the kicker.
Sanders Gets The Nod For Sunday
Despite Watson being cleared, Shedeur Sanders is still set for his first start of the season. He’s stepping in as QB1 against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Browns head coach Todd Monken made that call on Friday, confirming Sanders would lead the charge. It’s a definite twist, isn’t it?
Watson’s Status Still Up In The Air For Game Day
Even though Watson cleared protocol, he still remains questionable for Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff. So, what if he’s ruled out? Dillon Gabriel is on track to serve as Sanders’ backup if Watson is held out. It’s a bit of a wild card situation for the Browns.
The Browns are heading into New Orleans with a unique QB situation. All eyes will be on that 1 p.m. ET kickoff to see how this plays out and who is ultimately under center and on the sideline. Talk about some game-day drama!
