Browns name Deshaun Watson starting quarterback for 2026 season

On August 22, the Cleveland Browns announced Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback for the 2026 season. Watson faced criticism after a disappointing preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, where he completed only 5-of-12 passes for 36 yards and an interception. Following the game, he expressed frustration with fans who booed him and noted that he might face the upcoming season as if it were filled with road games, given their first two games are away. The Ravens will not face the Browns until Week 6, where they will hope for Watson to maintain his starting role until then.
