Watson or Sanders by Week 3 | Sports News

Nick Shook predicts Deshaun Watson could be benched by Week 3, with Shedeur Sanders stepping in for the home opener against the Panthers — a move fueled by fan frustration, Watson’s shaky play since joining the Browns, and his lingering Achilles injury from last year. If Watson fails to improve in the first two games, head coach Todd Monken may feel pressured to make the switch, especially since Sanders is expected to get a huge crowd boost at home. If Sanders thrives, he could become the long-term QB; if not, the Browns might look to trade or release Watson next offseason as his contract expires, while targeting top draft QBs like Dante Moore or Arch Manning in 2027.
