Deshaun Watson in Concussion protocol
-
@Orion It will be interesting to see if Monken runs the offense almost exclusively from shotgun this Sunday with Sanders or if he mixes it up, with more under center. He did run the offense under center last year under Stefanski, right?

I don't know the percentage. But I don't think we'll see major changes in this game that Sanders has to play in. And I'd assume that Watson will be going right back in when he's cleared to play. Unless Sanders really lights things up. Which is what he'll probably be hoping/trying to do. It's his only hope. -

With the Saints defense being so bad, the Browns should run the ball a lot. No need to let Sanders throw 30 times

Jordan Tyson is back to practice. Don't know if or how much he will play.

hopefully #2 will be able to get some play action going on. if he sez's scores 24-28 points #4 may not get his job back
