Cleveland placed quarterback Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol after he reported symptoms on Tuesday; Shedeur Sanders may start against New Orleans if Watson is unavailable.

Watson reported concussion symptoms on Tuesday after a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, and the Browns placed him in the league’s concussion protocol.
Watson’s availability for Cleveland’s Week 9 game against New Orleans is uncertain; both reports identify Sanders as a possible replacement.
The reports describe the Browns as 5–3 and note their playoff-race position, though they characterize that position differently.
