Browns quarterback battle remains open between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson
The Cleveland Browns have not settled their Week 1 quarterback competition. Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson have alternated first-team repetitions during the opening portion of training camp while the offense installs Todd Monken's new system. Monken said both quarterbacks have performed well and indicated that Cleveland may need several preseason games before making a final decision. The competition is expected to remain open through at least the Browns' August 22 preseason game against Buffalo. Cleveland opens the regular season against Jacksonville, creating a clear deadline for determining whether Sanders will win the starting job.
Corroborating: Cleveland's official site reported that Sanders and Watson have received first-team work during training camp. Associated Press reporting indicated that the competition may not be decided until after the August 22 preseason game against Buffalo. Cleveland's Week 1 opponent is Jacksonville.
