Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was not present at the team's practice on Thursday, with rookie Shedeur Sanders receiving first-team repetitions in his place. The development was reported by Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal.
Watson's absence from practice raises questions about his availability for the Browns' upcoming game. Sanders, a rookie quarterback, stepped into the starting role during the session, gaining valuable experience with the first-team offense.
No official reason for Watson's absence was immediately provided by the team. The Browns have not released a statement regarding the quarterback's status or the nature of his absence from the practice session.
