Despite his recent clearance, Watson’s status remains uncertain due to the lingering effects of his head injury. In the meantime, Sanders, who has only attempted three passes this season, will get his chance to shine on the field 3. During the Steelers game, he managed to complete two passes for 2 yards 56, showcasing some early promise.
The Browns’ decision to start Sanders highlights the importance of player health and readiness over pure statistical performance.
