The Cleveland Browns plan to go back to Deshaun Watson under center in Week 10 versus the Houston Texans despite Shedeur Sanders' impressive outing Sunday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Watson missed Cleveland's 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints while in concussion protocol.
Sanders filled in admirably in Watson's place, completing 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers. Head coach Todd Monken praised Sanders' performance postgame.
"For a guy that really hasn't taken snaps with (starters) in 10 weeks, I'm really proud of him," Monken said. "He had a great week of practice, and he gave us a chance at the end. He came through when we needed it with some big plays."
The Browns are 5-3 in Watson's starts this season. He's posted a 91.2 passer rating while throwing for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He's also logged 217 yards on the ground with one rushing TD.
