Deshaun Watson Appears Set to Start for Browns Over Shedeur Sanders
Following a joint practice between the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills, it has been suggested that Deshaun Watson has unofficially secured the starting quarterback position for the Browns over Shedeur Sanders. Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins expressed confidence in Watson's abilities, stating that with proper protection, Watson can excel on the field.
Dawkins highlighted Watson's past achievements, including three Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Houston Texans, despite Watson's recent struggles with injuries and a suspension. Watson's performance in the upcoming preseason game against the Bills will be closely watched, as it may indicate his readiness for the regular season.
Meanwhile, Browns head coach Todd Monken announced that veteran players would not participate in the game against Buffalo, leading to speculation that Watson is the preferred choice for the starting role. Bills quarterback Josh Allen praised Watson's resilience in overcoming challenges to return to the field.
