Watson is 1-7 since the start of 2024 as Browns starting QB https://t.co/gkefaQ9zYB Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF flagged the starter mark during Week 2 of the 2026 regular season. Coach Todd Monken said Watson is expected to start Sunday after film review.

Why it matters: Cleveland already lists Dillon Gabriel on IR with a back injury. Rival quarterback injuries have lifted the value of available depth around the league.

By the numbers: 1-7 (.125) as Browns starter since the start of 2024.

What to watch: Week 3 preparation brings the next checkpoint on Cleveland's starter call.
