Deshaun Watson struggles in Browns' preseason loss to Bears
Summary

Deshaun Watson made his return to the NFL on August 15, 2026, but his performance contributed to the Cleveland Browns' 34-10 loss against the Chicago Bears. He completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards but struggled to generate offensive momentum, overseeing drives that included only one touchdown and several punts. Analysts noted his lack of mobility and tendency to play conservatively. Rookie Shedeur Sanders is expected to start in the next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, raising questions about the long-term quarterback situation for the Browns amid recent team changes.
