- Todd Monken’s reps for Browns QBs confuses on Tuesday after Deshaun Watson named starter (Jared Mueller) – “With Deshaun Watson installed as the starter and starters not playing on Thursday, head coach Todd Monken’s practice reps were once again confusing on Tuesday.”
- Browns DT ready to end his ‘long journey’ and get back to playing (Thomas Moore) – “While the Deshaun Watson news consumed all the oxygen in Browns Town on Monday, he is not the only injured veteran set to make a return to the field, as the team also activated defensive tackle Maliek Collins from the physically unable to perform list.”
- TE Dae’Quan Wright’s story takes another turn; may not be done with Browns, NFL after all (Jared Mueller) – “For a player who went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles before being claimed by the Cleveland Browns, TE Dae’Quan Wright has become a big name in the story of football. While one of our astute readers was very excited when the Browns claimed Wright, his odds of making the team’s initial 53-man roster were low, but the lack of depth at his position might have helped.”
- NFL trades: 3 roster positions the Browns should be looking to upgrade (Jared Mueller) – “A look at a 53-man roster projection for the Cleveland Browns seems to indicate some obvious holes that could be filled on the trade market. Three positions stand out with depth concerns.”
- Browns 53-man roster projection: The tough calls, weak positions, deep spots (Jared Mueller) – “Next stop for the Cleveland Browns and the other 31 teams in the NFL after the third preseason game, where few 53-man roster players will participate, is the initial cutdown from 90 players. So who will make the cut?”
- How would you have handled the Browns starting QB decision? (Abby Mueller) – “Head Coach Todd Monken announced that Deshaun Watson will start at quarterback in Week 1. It’s a controversial decision, especially after his poor performance in the second half of the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills and his comments during the postgame press conference. His criticism of the fans for booing is likely to make for an even more hostile atmosphere when the Cleveland Browns return to Huntington Bank Field for their first home game in Week 3.”

- Todd Monken admits it was ‘pretty obvious’ Deshaun Watson was ahead early on and that Shedeur Sanders made it a competition (cleveland.com) – “Todd Monken admitted for the first time Tuesday that it “was pretty obvious” Deshaun Watson was ahead in the spring, and that Shedeur Sanders made it a quarterback competition.”
- QB decision doesn’t make sense for present or future (Browns Zone) – “As I stood on the practice field Monday afternoon and watched Deshaun Watson throw balls into the dirt and struggle to string completions, I wondered the same thing I have for months. How can he be the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns?”
- Jim Brown statue at Browns stadium covered with anti-Deshaun Watson posters (Beacon Journal) – “Some fans continue to speak out against the decision by the Browns to name Deshaun Watson the team’s starting quarterback. The Jim Brown statue outside of Huntington Bank Field, home of the Browns, had posters taped to it on Aug. 25, the day after Watson was named starter.”
- Deshaun Watson, Jimmy Haslam, Andrew Berry and fans themselves all deserve loud booing (The Athletic) – “Those particular fans in Cleveland who wasted precious hours of their lives Saturday afternoon at an NFL preseason game, then booed Deshaun Watson throughout his time on the field? They had it all wrong. Their boos should’ve been directed toward the owners’ suite. Let Jimmy and Dee Haslam, the managing and principal partners of the mess in Cleveland, hear the hissing and feel all of this fury.”
NFL
- Predicting NFL teams most likely to decline in 2026 season (ESPN) – “If you read Monday’s improvement column, you know that the Chiefs and Lions are two of the teams I’m (perhaps unsurprisingly) expecting to improve in 2026.
