Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken is under fire after contradicting his earlier statement about quarterback Shedeur Sanders' practice schedule on August 9, 2026. Initially, Monken announced that Sanders would receive the majority of first-team reps during training, but during practice, Deshaun Watson dominated the snaps instead. This move has raised questions regarding Monken's evaluation methods for the team's quarterback competition, which includes Sanders and others. Sanders's performance was marked by 16 completions on 20 attempts with the second team, while Watson had a strong outing with four touchdowns.
