Watson Will Start at QB for Browns

Protesters taped signs on Hall of Famer Jim Brown's statue outside the Cleveland Browns stadium criticizing the team for retaining quarterback Deshaun Watson due to his controversial history.
Watson signed a $230 million guaranteed five-year contract in 2022 but faced suspensions for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after more than two dozen women accused him of sexual misconduct.
During Saturday's 31-7 preseason loss to Buffalo, fans booed Watson, who lashed out at the crowd after his first appearance in 22 months, calling the reaction "personal."
Coach Todd Monken named Watson the starting quarterback on Monday after a five-month competition against Shedeur Sanders, moving forward despite the public backlash.
Browns players appear supportive of the decision, with beat writer Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com reporting the team is focused on the regular season rather than quarterback controversy.
