The Browns are going back to Deshaun Watson after Shedeur Sanders threw for 297 yards

Deshaun Watson will be back under center for the Cleveland Browns when they face the Houston Texans in Week 10, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Monday. Watson cleared the concussion protocol on Saturday but was inactive for Sunday's game.

That ends, for now, the Shedeur Sanders start that Cleveland made official last week. Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-22 overtime loss at New Orleans.

What Sanders did with it

After a slow start, Sanders hit rookie Denzel Boston for 60 yards and then threw a 64-yard touchdown to fellow rookie KC Concepcion that put Cleveland ahead 13-9 late in the fourth quarter. ESPN noted his two 60-yard completions doubled Watson's total for the first eight games. After the Saints went back ahead, Sanders led a field goal drive to force overtime, then hit Harold Fannin Jr. for a 39-yard touchdown late in the extra period. Cleveland went for the win, and his 2-point pass fell incomplete.

Coach Todd Monken said he was proud of Sanders but would not discuss the quarterback job after the game. "How long has it been? Thirty minutes since the game ended? I'm not getting into quarterback," he said.

Why Watson gets it back

Watson led the Browns to a 5-3 start with an NFL-high five winning drives, though his 40.9 QBR entering Week 9 ranked 28th of 30 qualifying quarterbacks, according to ESPN. Sanders posted a 39 QBR against the Saints. The loss dropped Cleveland to 5-4.
