Browns QB plan with Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders for Week 10 revealed originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Cleveland Browns saw Deshaun Watson land in concussion protocol during the team's week of practice before facing the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. He cleared protocol, but was inactive for gameday. Shedeur Sanders got the Week 9 start, and he nearly led another incredible Browns comeback, coming an overtime two-point conversion away from beating the Saints. But now that Week 9 is behind them, what will the Browns do at quarterback? According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler , the Browns have a plan at QB. For Week 10, the Browns plan to return the starting QB job to Watson, which isn't a huge surprise, even after Sanders' near-comeback win. Browns make QB plan with Deshaun Watson for Week 10 "The Browns plan to start Deshaun Watson in Week 10 vs. the Texans , per source," Fowler reports. "Shedeur Sanders filled in Sunday in New Orleans, but returning to Watson was the expected move once he cleared concussion protocol." While the Browns gave Sanders a chance to start in Week 9 despite Watson clearing protocol, he didn't do enough to convince the Browns to stick with him despite Watson's return from a concussion. Sanders went 19 of 31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns, taking five sacks while rushing for 28 yards on 10 attempts in the 23-22 loss to the Saints in overtime.

Based on this report from Fowler, it will be Watson, not Sanders, who will face this Texans defense in Week 10. Fighting for a spot in the AFC playoff picture, the Browns need a win this week, and Todd Monken is seemingly returning to Watson, which was expected after he missed a week due to a concussion. Sanders might get another chance to be the starter for the Browns, but that chance is not likely coming in Week 10, as Cleveland plans to make Watson the starter.
