How quickly will the Cleveland Browns' locker room rally behind Deshaun Watson as their starting QB?

Описание: Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken said he anticipates naming a starting quarterback between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders on Monday.

Monken also said postgame comments from Watson on Saturday, in which the veteran quarterback said boos from the home crowd were "disrespectful," won't factor into his decision.

"He emptied his heart a little bit, and I don't think that says who he is," Monken said Sunday. "I see the competitor in him. I see the every-day work he puts in, and he wants to be back. He wants to get back to where he was as best he can, and that's hard. And again, I think the moment just got him after the game, and it can get all of us."

Watson completed 5 of 12 passes for 35 yards and an interception during four second-half drives in Cleveland's 31-7 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was booed constantly in his first home game since tearing his right Achilles tendon in October 2024, an injury for which he underwent two surgeries and missed all of the 2025 season.

"The whole world knows it has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said after the game. "It's a little bit [more] personal than that. So I think it's a disrespectful thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that. And yeah, just move on. | https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/4...
