Deshaun Watson took first-team reps while Shedeur Sanders worked with the second group at Browns practice, sparking talk that the rookie is losing the starting job. Head coach Todd Monken said Watson got the snaps because he wanted to test certain groupings, and stressed the competition remains open. Former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel criticised Sanders for not fixing his bad habits quickly enough, adding to the noise around the QB race.
The narrative that this rep distribution settles the Browns QB battle is overstated. Monken has repeatedly said the job is open, and training-camp clips reveal only part of the full picture. Samuel's history with Deion Sanders may also colour his critique. A concrete test: watch Shedeur's snap count in the preseason game against Chicago to see if Cleveland truly shifts away from him.
