Browns Coach Answers Whether Shedeur Sanders Will Get a Chance to Start Again
Shedeur Sanders threw for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns, but Monken said he needs more time before deciding on the Browns’ next starter.
Following a 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken declined to name a starting quarterback for next week's game against the Houston Texans.
Shedeur Sanders made his first 2026 start on Friday, Nov. 6, filling in for Deshaun Watson, who remained in concussion protocol for most of the week and was inactive Sunday.
Sanders completed 19-of-31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns, impressing in the defeat. Wide receiver KC Concepcion called Sanders a "game changer," while Monken said, "I'm really proud of him."
Monken refused to commit to a starter, telling reporters, "I'm not getting into quarterback." He shook his head when asked if the team would return to Watson.
Cleveland hosts the Texans on Nov. 15, with the team facing a Tuesday trade deadline before that matchup. Coaches typically review film and staff feedback before finalizing quarterback decisions.
