Browns QB Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol. Shedeuer Sanders may start
The Browns may not have Deshaun Watson at quarterback against the New Orleans Saints.
BEREA - Quarterback Deshaun Watson is expected to miss Cleveland's upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints as he is currently in concussion protocol. According to the team, Watson took a helmet-to-helmet hit during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant administered a gameday concussion evaluation, which cleared him to return on the next offensive series.
However, both post-game and Monday morning evaluations revealed no symptoms and cleared him to play. On Tuesday morning, he reported experiencing concussion symptoms and was immediately placed in the concussion protocol. If Watson cannot play, backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to start in his place.
