  "summary": "The Cleveland Browns are reportedly set to make Deshaun Watson their starter for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans, despite a strong performance from backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders in their recent matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Watson, who spent five seasons with the Texans and had a strong statistical season in 2020, has cleared concussion protocol and will take over the starting quarterback role against his former team. Sanders had a solid outing in the Saints game, completing 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns, but the Browns ultimately fell short in overtime. Head coach Todd Monken praised Sanders' performance, calling him \"awfully proud\" of him and highlighting his composure and ability to make plays with his feet. Watson now returns to his previous starting role, facing off against the Texans, who are currently 3-5.",
