Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will start against the New Orleans Saints while Deshaun Watson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. The announcement comes ahead of the team's upcoming matchup. Watson, the Browns' primary starter, has been sidelined as he works through the league's mandated return-to-play process following a head injury. Sanders, a rookie signal-caller, will make his first career start in Watson's absence. The Browns face the Saints in a regular-season contest as both teams navigate quarterback situations early in the 2026 campaign.
