Where Shedeur Sanders' opportunity exists this week in Browns QB derby
Deshaun Watson had a solid 1st preseason game for the Browns against the Bears. This week, though, provides an chance for Shedeur Sanders to answer.
The Browns' quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders will receive a significant boost this week. Coach Todd Monken revealed that Sanders has an opportunity to make his case in the second round, though no final decision has been made yet. Both quarterbacks have been performing well, with Watson completing 10 of 11 passes in a recent game and Sanders going 6-for-11.
Sanders will have the chance to start and play a full half against the Bills on Aug. 22, as well as get more offensive reps in the lead-up to the joint practice on Aug. 20. Monken emphasized that the decision process hasn't been heavily weighted towards one player, and the coaches are striving to give both quarterbacks equal opportunities.
With Sanders' strong start, he has a real chance to extend the competition into the final week of the preseason.
