If you're making Sunday plans around the Browns, the quarterback is still a question. Deshaun Watson is out of the concussion protocol and missed the loss in New Orleans, but coach Todd Monken wasn't ready Monday to name a starter against Houston. He wants to review the 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints with the offensive staff first.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Monday that Watson would start against his former team. Shedeur Sanders, in his first start of the season, engineered a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter and nearly converted a game-winning two-point conversion in overtime.
