Cleveland Browns news: Training camp QB battle is growing tiresome

Berea, Ohio - July 29, 2026: Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns, are engaging in a training camp competition that is becoming increasingly contentious. On July 29, 2026, the Cleveland Browns training camp began at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea, Ohio. As of today, Day 9 of the camp, the team has not yet determined a starter between Watson and Sanders.

Coach Todd Monken has indicated that a decision will be made after both players have been evaluated through multiple rep periods. Recent roster updates include the addition of another defensive tackle following Friday's practice. Head coach Monken has emphasized that neither Watson nor Sanders have clearly distinguished themselves in the competition, despite differing performance metrics.

The Browns' roster also includes promising young talent, with future Hall of Famers such as Myles Garrett showing great promise. Training camp excitement is particularly high for Denzel Boston, a young player who has garnered significant attention. The coaching staff under Mike Rutenberg is focusing on developing a defensive scheme that remains unpredictable for opposing quarterbacks.
