Browns to Start Deshaun Watson in Week 1

The Cleveland Browns have announced that Deshaun Watson will be their starting quarterback for Week 1. This decision comes after a notable change in sentiment following a preseason game against the Bills, where Watson faced significant booing from fans.

Coach Todd Monken appeared unfazed by the negative reactions during the game and Watson's comments about his strained relationship with the fanbase. The Browns are reportedly giving Watson a two-week opportunity to prove himself, with both games scheduled away from home.

Cleveland will face the Jaguars in Jacksonville and the Buccaneers in Tampa, aiming for a strong start. The team has not begun a season 2-0 since 1993, and a successful performance could improve Watson's standing with fans ahead of a potential home game against the Panthers.
