Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been placed in concussion protocol following a helmet-to-helmet hit during the first quarter of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The incident occurred on Monday night, and Watson began showing symptoms soon after, prompting the team's decision to evaluate his health further, as reported by the Browns.

With Watson potentially sidelined for Week 9, the Browns are preparing to start Shedeur Sanders against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. This situation marks a significant opportunity for Sanders, who could step into the spotlight as the team's starting quarterback if Watson is unable to play.S1S3
