  "account": "Todd Monken, the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, has not yet decided who will start at quarterback for their Week 10 game against the Texans. This decision comes after ESPN reported that Deshaun Watson would return to the starting position after missing Sunday's match due to an injury. Monken admitted that he has not fully thought through the quarterback position yet, having only just reviewed the tape with the team. He mentioned that Sanders, who had not played since Watson's return from concussion protocol, performed well in their recent practices. Monken expressed pride in Sanders' performance, highlighting his composure in the pocket and ability to make plays with his feet. Despite Sanders' strong showing, Monken emphasized that each week the best players are put on the field to maximize their chances of winning. He also noted that Sanders' performance does not necessarily confirm his role for the entire season. Monken added that Sanders' impressive play gives him more confidence in Monken's ability to build on his development throughout the season. The next step will be to observe how these developments play out during the upcoming games.",
