Deshaun Watson Takes Lead in Browns' Quarterback Competition

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken has recently altered the quarterback competition dynamics during training camp. Initially, both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders shared first-team reps, but a recent practice saw Watson take all the snaps with the starting unit.

This shift occurred on a day when Sanders was expected to lead the first team, but instead, he received only a few second-team reps alongside Dillon Gabriel. Gabriel has been performing well, receiving positive feedback despite primarily facing backup players.

While Sanders has shown improvement in accuracy and footwork, Monken is looking for further development in decision-making and control during practices. Watson's performance has varied, but he has shown signs of recovery after a challenging start to training camp. The Browns will take a break on Sunday, with Monken expected to provide further insights on the quarterback situation when he addresses the media on Monday.
