Browns being patient in naming a starting QB as Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders split reps
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns have not yet named a starting quarterback as both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders continue to share reps during the first week of training camp, with both throwing interceptions in situational drills.
- Coach Todd Monken emphasized that the team is still in the installation phase of camp, focusing on fundamentals and offensive growth rather than individual performance or results.
- Sanders has shown improvement and consistency compared to earlier practices, while Watson is recovering from two Achilles injuries and working to regain full speed and rhythm.
- The Browns plan to evaluate their quarterbacks more thoroughly once the full offense is installed and preseason games begin, with a potential decision on the starter expected around the second preseason game on August 20.
- Other quarterbacks in camp include Dillon Gabriel, noted for accuracy but with some interceptions, and rookie Taylen Green, who has yet to see competitive reps.
