Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will start against the New Orleans Saints as Deshaun Watson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, the team confirmed Friday.
Watson has not cleared the league's return-to-play process after sustaining a head injury. Sanders, a rookie, made his first career start in Cleveland's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 1, 2026.
The Browns will turn to Sanders for the upcoming matchup against the Saints as they look to maintain offensive continuity with their starter sidelined.
