Cleveland Browns quarterback battle nears conclusion

The Cleveland Browns are nearing a decision in their quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Following a joint practice with the Buffalo Bills, head coach Todd Monken has indicated that Sanders will start the upcoming preseason game against the Bills, with Watson expected to play in the third quarter.

During the joint practice, both quarterbacks showed flashes of ability, though the competition remains a central focus for the franchise. Additionally, Monken highlighted concerns regarding the team's depth at the tight end position due to various injuries and roster changes. Rookie quarterback Taylen Green has also begun to attract attention from coaching staff for his performance during training camp.

On the defensive side, the Browns faced an injury scare when defensive end Alex Wright was carted off during the joint practice session. The team is also managing several injuries within the roster as they prepare for the second preseason game.
