Browns' name Deshaun Watson starter for Week 1 against the Jaguars
Deshaun Watson has been named the Browns' starting quarterback, according to sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Cleveland Browns have announced that Deshaun Watson will be their starting quarterback for the first game of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Despite Watson’s struggles during the second preseason game on Saturday, where he completed just 5 of 12 passes for 35 yards and threw one interception in the second half, he has emerged as the clear favorite to start after Shedeur Sanders.
The competition between Watson and Sanders was supposed to intensify during training camp, but Watson has shown more promise so far. The Browns will kick off their season with two games on the road before returning home in Week three for a game against the Carolina Panthers.
