Deshaun Watson struggles in training camp, throws ninth interception in 12 practices

During training camp on August 11, 2026, Deshaun Watson threw his ninth interception in just 12 practices, raising questions about his role in the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition. Despite the ongoing nature of the competition, some believe Watson's performance signals a clear edge for rookie Shedeur Sanders to be named the starter. Watson's struggles, including errors against the second-team defense, may lead the Browns to expedite their decision on a starting quarterback. The team aims to finalize a decision soon to allow the starter more time with first-string players.
