BrownsSaturday, November 7
Shedeur Sanders will start for the Browns at New Orleans on Sunday
The 5AM Cleveland team
If you're planning your Sunday around the Browns, here's your quarterback: Shedeur Sanders will start for Cleveland at the Saints while Deshaun Watson is in the concussion protocol. Todd Monken made it official Friday, and Watson is listed as questionable.
Watson returned to practice on a limited basis Friday but took no team reps. Monken wasn't sure he'd be active if he clears the protocol Saturday. Sanders took the first-team reps Wednesday through Friday.

Sanders said he has seen “a lot” of video of a Saints defense that ranks 28th in yards allowed per game (372.7). He seems confident, even if he's reluctant to say so out loud: “When I smile, just know that means something.”
