Browns struggle in Deshaun Watson's return during loss to Jaguars
Summary

Deshaun Watson's return to the Cleveland Browns culminated in a disappointing 34-10 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 10, 2026. Cleveland fell behind significantly early in the game, with Watson throwing an interception and completing just one pass over 10 yards in the first half. Although he connected on a late touchdown, the team is now facing renewed questions about its quarterback position. Head coach Todd Monken declined to place full blame on Watson, stating that team evaluation would include coaching and defense. A potential competition with Shedeur Sanders may emerge as the Browns reassess their options moving forward.
