Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is set to start in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game marks his first appearance since missing the entire 2025 season due to consecutive Achilles injuries. His wife, Jilly Anais Watson, confirmed her presence in Jacksonville to support him as he returns to the field. Watson secured the starting role over teammate Shedeur Sanders following an uneven preseason. The veteran faces immediate pressure to demonstrate his effectiveness under center to avoid a shift in the team's depth chart. Cleveland continues its road schedule next week with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
