Browns Coach to Announce Starting Quarterback on Monday

Browns coach Todd Monken is set to announce the team's starting quarterback on Monday. There is speculation that Deshaun Watson may retain his position despite recent criticism following a game where he faced boos from the home crowd.

Monken appears to be considering giving Watson the opportunity to start in the first two games against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay. If the Browns manage to win both matches, the atmosphere could shift positively ahead of their home opener against the Panthers.

Monken has indicated that he will not make a long-term decision immediately, suggesting that the Week 1 starter will also be the first to be benched if necessary. The announcement is anticipated to be made shortly before Monken's scheduled press conference at 12:50 p.m. ET on Monday.
