Key Points:
- Browns head coach Todd Monken avoided discussing the team's quarterback plans following their 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints.
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Deshaun Watson is expected to return as the starting quarterback against the Texans after clearing concussion protocol.
- Shedeur Sanders started in Watson's absence, completing 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns, earning praise from Monken.
- Despite Sanders’s strong performance, Monken did not indicate whether the team would consider making a permanent quarterback change.
- The Browns appear likely to reinstate Watson as the starter as they aim to remain competitive in the AFC playoff race.
