Cleveland Browns' Quarterback Situation Under Scrutiny Ahead of Week 2
Deshaun Watson will be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in their Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 20. This decision comes despite a disappointing performance in the previous game, where Watson completed 11 of 17 passes for 100 yards and an interception during a 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Concerns about Watson's leadership and the team's morale have surfaced, with reports indicating that players in the locker room are frustrated with the ongoing drama surrounding the quarterback position. An NFL insider noted that some players believe Watson is not fully committed to the team, with speculation that he may be benched if the Browns lose their upcoming game.
Additionally, there are rumors linking the Browns to college quarterback Arch Manning, should they secure a top draft pick next year. Browns co-owner Jimmy Haslam is reportedly interested in Manning, given his connections to the University of Tennessee.
