Watson Back, Browns Ready to Roll | Sports News

Deshaun Watson’s return to the Cleveland Browns’ starting lineup is sparking mixed emotions — while head coach Todd Monken stays upbeat, emphasizing faith in Watson’s ability to lead the offense, fans are grappling with past disappointments and lingering doubts. After a brutal 2024 season that included a torn Achilles and multiple suspensions, Watson’s comeback is far from guaranteed. But with 3,300+ passing yards and 19 TDs since 2022, he’s still got the talent. Monken admits fans are frustrated — they want wins and hope — but insists the team’s focus is on delivering a high-level product. With the Browns set to open against the Jaguars on Sept. 13, 2026, Monken’s unwavering trust in Watson could be the story of the season — even if it’s not yet clear if Watson is 100% ready.
