  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Sanders continues to rotate first-team reps with Deshaun Watson, and the former is lined up to work with the starters in Cleveland's first padded practice Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Sanders and Watson have been alternating first-team reps in the early days of camp. Watson got the first-team spot for Friday's training camp practice, so Sanders is set to take his next turn Monday, when the team puts on pads for the first time. Cleveland's quarterback competition is unlikely to be decided until after Sanders and Watson play in the preseason.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Browns coach Todd Monken said Wednesday that Sanders and Deshaun Watson will continue splitting first-team reps at the start of training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The plan from the offseason program carries over into training camp, with Watson and Sanders battling for the starting job while Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green are resigned to competing for depth roles. Monken said he doesn't have a timeline to name his Week 1 starter, adding that he plans to use his first-stringers during preseason games.

• Browns' Shedeur Sanders: QB competition ongoing

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Sanders' quarterback competition with Deshaun Watson is expected to last throughout training camp and the preseason, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Head coach Todd Monken has maintained that a starter will be named prior to Week 1, but Sanders and Watson both have ample time to pull ahead in Cleveland's QB competition during training camp and the preseason. The 24-year-old Sanders posted a 3-4 record as a rookie after being drafted in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, while the 30-year-old Watson went 1-6 as the Browns' starter in 2024 prior suffering a pair of Achilles' injuries, from which Watson has since recovered.

• Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Continues to share first-team reps

  06/10/2026 • By RotoWire

  Sanders and Deshaun Watson are slated to continue splitting first-team QB reps during the Browns' mandatory minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Sanders took first-team reps Tuesday, while Watson will get them Wednesday. The two are then in line to split those reps Thursday. Coach Todd Monken had hoped to have established a pecking order by now, but he acknowledged Tuesday that he's unlikely to name a starter by the end of the minicamp. Watson appeared to have the advantage early this offseason, but Sanders seems to have closed the gap. Per Monken, "they both played well enough to earn out the right to compete to start," and as a result this is a job battle that figures to carry over into training camp.
