  "account": "Quarterback Deshaun Watson made his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns after recovering from an Achilles tendon injury. His first home game since the injury saw him greeted with boos from the crowd. Teammate Shedeur Sanders voiced his disapproval of the booing, stating that he didn’t appreciate it in any context. Sanders emphasized the importance of respecting everyone, including fans, and highlighted the need for a respectful environment for all individuals involved in the sport. He acknowledged the fans’ right to voice their opinions but stressed that their actions should be respectful. Sanders’ stance on the matter reflects the broader issues surrounding Watson’s controversial past and the Browns’ decision to sign him to a massive contract in light of his past misconduct allegations. Despite the negative reception, the team’s focus remained on winning games and delivering the best possible performance, even if it meant enduring the frustrations of the boos.",
  "summary": "There was a theory that quarterback Deshaun Watson got his preseason start last week because the game was not being played in Cleveland.",
