Browns QB Watson enters concussion protocol after symptoms surfaced, Sanders
could go against Saints
BEREA, Ohio (AP) --- Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been
placed in the concussion protocol after experiencing symptoms Monday night.
If Watson is not cleared in time for Sunday's game against the New Orleans
Saints, Shedeur Sanders would get his first start of the season.
Watson took a helmet-to-helmet hit during the first quarter of last week's 27-6
loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The independent certified athletic trainer
watching the game from the press box called down to the Browns sideline and
Watson was given a gameday concussion evaluation and cleared by the
unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant.
The 10-year veteran returned to the game and completed 27 of 39 passes for 324
yards, his second straight 300-yard game.
The Browns said Wednesday morning that Watson received evaluations after
Sunday's game and Monday morning. He was cleared after showing no symptoms.
Watson told the medical staff Tuesday morning he began experiencing symptoms
Monday night when he was placed in the concussion protocol.
Sanders was in for four plays against the Steelers, and completed both of his
passes for 2 yards. He started the final seven games of his rookie season last
year, going 3-4 with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
