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.
