CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Todd Monken wouldn’t name a starting QB Monday but did say Deshaun Watson appears ready to play.

Watson missed Sunday’s loss in New Orleans, where Shedeur Sanders threw for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns after a slow start.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Monday that Watson would start next Sunday to face his former team, the Houston Texans, at 1 p.m.

Get your Sunday started at 11 a.m. with a live Tailgate 19 at Firehouse Bar & Grill in Willoughby Hills featuring former Browns great Josh Cribbs and former OSU/NFL linebacker Matt Wilhelm.
