Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns plan to reevaluate their quarterback situation after Week 2, using the first two games as a natural assessment point before their Week 3 home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Deshaun Watson started the first two games but has struggled, including a 34-10 loss to the Jaguars where he threw one touchdown, one interception, and was sacked five times, leading to diminished support from fans.
- Shedeur Sanders is the likely backup option if the Browns decide to make a quarterback change, as he represents the closest long-term solution despite a challenging rookie season.
- The Browns need clarity on Sanders' potential ahead of the 2027 NFL draft, where they hold two first-round picks, to determine if they should pursue a quarterback early in the draft.
