Browns HC Todd Monken Reportedly Nearing Decision on Starting QB

A decision in the Browns' QB battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders could come soon, per a new report.

The Cleveland Browns' head coach Todd Monken may be close to deciding which quarterback will start for the team's Week 1 game against the Bills, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The battle for quarterback one spot between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders continues despite Watson having some momentum recently. Fowler stated that Sanders will play the first half against the Bills, giving the first-team offense another chance to evaluate the two quarterbacks.

Watson has led the team with 126 passing yards and a 98.2 passer rating over two scoring drives. Sanders went 6-for-11 for 79 yards but also threw an interception. Watson, the experienced veteran, may be the safer option for the Browns in the starting position, but Sanders still has a chance to prove himself if Watson's performance drops during the regular season or he gets injured.
