## Resource

Cleveland Browns QB battle heating up as rookie Shedeur Sanders, who flashed big numbers last season, enters camp as the No. 2 behind Deshaun Watson — despite Watson’s injury-riddled, criticized tenure and fan boos. Coach Todd Monken stands firm on Watson as starter, but insiders say Sanders is closing the gap and could take over as the season progresses. Don’t sleep on rookie Taylen Green either — his dual-threat game could shake up the backup race. Browns open the season Sept. 13 against the Jaguars.
