Browns Players Share Mixed Views on Deshaun Watson's Starting Role

Deshaun Watson is expected to remain the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns as they prepare for their Week 2 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 20. This follows a challenging performance in which the Browns lost 34-10 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Browns safety Ronnie Hickman commented on the situation, indicating uncertainty about Watson's support within the team. He stated that the decision regarding the quarterback is beyond his authority. Watson's statistics from the game included 11 completions on 17 attempts for 100 yards and an interception, with a late 46-yard touchdown pass contributing to the score.

Head coach Todd Monken was questioned about Watson's support in the locker room but did not confirm that all players were behind him. Meanwhile, running back Raheim Sanders expressed confidence in Watson, highlighting their bond since last year. The upcoming game will likely bring more questions regarding Watson's role from the media.
