The Cleveland Browns are moving quickly toward resolving their quarterback competition. According to reports, the team plans to conduct an evaluation meeting on Sunday to assess the performances of both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders during the preseason, with a final decision potentially coming as soon as Monday.
Watson received the starting assignment in the first preseason week, while Sanders earned the opportunity to lead the offense in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. Though Sanders will be working primarily with backup players rather than the full first-string roster, this represents a significant chance to demonstrate his capabilities to head coach Todd Monken and his coaching staff.
The compressed timeline reflects the Browns’ need to finalize their quarterback situation before the regular season commences. With only one additional preseason game remaining after the Bills matchup, delaying the decision further could limit the team’s ability to properly coordinate its starting quarterback with offensive personnel during practice sessions.
Watson currently appears to be the favored candidate for the starting role entering the competition. However, an outstanding performance from Sanders could potentially complicate the decision-making process for the coaching staff.
