Deshaun Watson Downplays Facing Texans as Browns Try to Stay Unbeaten at Home, in Playoff Picture – WTOP News
Deshaun Watson returns after clearing concussion protocol, and Cleveland will lean on his 5-3 start to protect its AFC playoff position.
- On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns announced Deshaun Watson will start Sunday's Week 10 game against the Houston Texans after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol on Saturday.
- Watson missed last week's 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints after sustaining a concussion on November 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders started in his place.
- Although Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in his debut, Browns head coach Todd Monken prioritized Watson's "full body of work" for the playoff push.
- With the Browns currently 5-4, the team faces a critical AFC Wild Card race and hopes Watson's veteran experience will snap their two-game losing streak.
- Sunday's game at Huntington Bank Field marks Watson's second meeting with his former team, and he will face Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud for the first time.
