  "account": "Berea, Ohio - June 11: Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns quarterbacks, were seen together during the mandatory minicamp held at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on June 11, 2026, in Berea, Ohio. Cleveland head coach Todd Monken has announced that both quarterbacks will have the opportunity to play in a preseason game before a final decision is made on who will start the season.\n\nDuring the minicamp, Monken revealed that Sanders would start on Monday and Wednesday, while Watson would start on Tuesday and Thursday. However, both players would have a chance to compete in the same blocks on Thursday. A repot from ESPN detailed the opinions of two of its insiders: Herm Edwards and Jeremy Fowler.\n\nRegarding Deshaun Watson, Herm Edwards said, \"This is the guy,\" indicating his confidence in Watson. Jeremy Fowler, on the other hand, described the situation as \"some momentum, not all the momentum. Seems well positioned right now.\" Fowler went on to say that Monken and his coaching staff would \"huddle up\" after Saturday's preseason contest to make a decision on the quarterback situation.\n\nThe article highlights the intense competition between these two quarterbacks and suggests that it will be a crucial week for both players, the coaching staff, and the Cleveland Browns.",
