Browns head coach Todd Monken wasn’t interested in answering questions about the team’s quarterback plans for Week 10 after Sunday’s 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints, but it seems the team has done some thinking about their plans.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the plan is for Deshaun Watson to return to the starting lineup against the Texans. Watson cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, but was inactive after missing two practices during the week.
Shedeur Sanders got the start and went 19-of-31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns. Monken said after the game that he was proud of Sanders’s performance after spending the first two months of the season on the bench, but declined to answer whether it was enough for him to consider making a lasting change.
Monken hasn’t confirmed the team’s plan, but it appears the team will return to the status quo as they try to keep pace in the AFC playoff race.
