Browns name Deshaun Watson starter against Texans amid fan criticism

The Cleveland Browns have named Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback for their Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. This decision follows a week of speculation after Watson's recovery from a concussion, during which Shedeur Sanders made his first start and performed well. Watson’s initial uncertainty in a press conference regarding the starter decision drew criticism from fans, who accused reporter Mary Kay Cabot of creating unnecessary drama. Coach Todd Monken defended the decision-making process behind naming Watson the starter without promising him the role for the remainder of the season. With a 5-4 record, the Browns look to improve their standing in the AFC North with a victory before their bye week.
