Deshaun Watson throws early interception in Browns 2026 season opener

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson recorded an interception on the fifth play of the 2026 season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The turnover occurred when Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun intercepted a pass early in the contest. First-year head coach Todd Monken selected Watson as the starter for the season after a competition with Shedeur Sanders during the preseason. Watson now faces pressure to demonstrate peak form to secure his standing as the primary signal-caller. The team holds the option to pivot to Sanders if turnover issues persist throughout the game or the remainder of the season.
