The Cleveland Browns confirmed that quarterback Deshaun Watson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of their game in New Orleans, according to Yahoo Sports. Despite that clearance, the team announced Shedeur Sanders will remain the starting quarterback.
The decision comes as a notable move for Cleveland's coaching staff, who are choosing continuity with the rookie passer over an immediate return to their more experienced option, per Yahoo Sports and Sporting News.
The situation has drawn attention across the league as a fascinating quarterback call, with Sporting News noting there is clear reasoning behind the Browns sticking with Sanders rather than reinserting Watson right away.
