  "account": "Browns head coach Todd Monken declared on Wednesday that Deshaun Watson will once again start as the team's quarterback for their upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Texans. Watson had missed the previous game due to a concussion protocol and two practices, prompting speculation about who would take the field during a subsequent press conference. Monken explained his decision, stating that he wished to consult with the coaching staff before making a public announcement, and emphasized Watson's strong performance over their past eight games. Monken reiterated his commitment to Watson being the starting quarterback, neither looking at the role on a weekly or long-term basis but rather judging each game individually. The team currently holds a 5-4 record and has a bye week in Week 11, meaning if they fail to maintain a .500 record after that break, they may face further inquiries about the quarterback situation.",
  "summary": "Monken said he doesn't anticipate making a quarterback change while confirming Watson's Week 10 return.",
