Sanders lost QB competition to Watson despite closing gap in training camp.

Sanders lost the Browns' wide-open 2026 offseason quarterback competition to Deshaun Watson despite coach Todd Monken saying Sanders had "closed the gap" during training camp. Monken stated Watson "was ahead of Shedeur" and that Sanders' improvement was "a credit to him," but the team prioritized "putting our best foot forward" for Week 1 with Watson as starter.
