Shedeur Sanders dealt major blow as Browns make surprising decision on his future
Shedeur Sanders has been dealt a setback in his push for the Cleveland Browns starting job after head coach Todd Monken indicated Deshaun Watson will remain under centre for Week 2. Watson struggled badly in Cleveland’s 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Monken has decided against making an immediate change.
In a surprising move, the Cleveland Browns have decided to keep Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback for Week 2, despite rookie Shedeur Sanders' efforts to prove himself. After Watson's poor performance in Cleveland's 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Todd Monken opted against making an immediate change.
This news has dealt a major blow to Sanders, who had hoped to secure a spot in the starting lineup. While Watson's return to regular-season action yielded 205 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, his early struggles set back Sanders' chances. Monken acknowledged the need for improvement from both the coaching staff and the quarterback, but ultimately decided to stick with his initial choice. As the Browns face a potential 0-2 start, the rookie's future remains uncertain.
