Browns QB competition: ‘Signal’ that ‘QB1’ has unofficially been identified
Key Points:
- Watson took the first reps in two 7-on-7 periods during practice, with Sanders following, marking a shift from the usual pattern where the QB1 goes first.
- Historically, up to Day 8, the QB designated as QB1 has led off most 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, making Watson's new role notable.
- Watson receiving extra first-team reps may indicate he is unofficially moving into the QB1 position and will likely take the majority of starting snaps.
- Coach Monken mentioned that by Monday, the starting lineup for key positions, including quarterback, should become clear.
