The Cleveland Browns will start quarterback Shedeur Sanders in their Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints after Deshaun Watson was ruled out, according to the team's injury report released Saturday.
Watson, who has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, did not practice this week and will miss the game at the Caesars Superdome. Sanders, a rookie, will make his first NFL start in place of the veteran signal-caller.
The Browns face the Saints on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in a game that could impact both teams' playoff aspirations.
