Shedeur Sanders Sends Message Ahead of Potential First Start This Season
Deshaun Watson entered concussion protocol on Wednesday, setting him to possibly miss Sunday's game versus the Saints.
The Cleveland Browns have announced that their starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson, has entered concussion protocol and there is a strong possibility he will not play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. If Watson is unable to play, the team's coach, Todd Monken, is expected to promote backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders to start, marking Sanders' first start of the 2025 season.
This would be the first time Sanders has started since his rookie year last season, where he led the Browns to a 3-4 record and earned a Pro Bowl bid. Sanders expressed his gratitude to the coaching staff, general manager Andrew Berry, and the organization for giving him another opportunity to contribute this season. He stated that he wants to thank everyone for the chance and wishes Watson the best.
Sanders is looking forward to the opportunity, as it would also be his first time playing with rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion. Concepcion, who has not played with Sanders in a game yet, mentioned that he has established a good relationship with Sanders, similar to his relationship with veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson.
