Sanders, Watson to each start preseason

Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken revealed Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will each start a preseason game. The next week will determine who starts Aug. 15 at Chicago and who starts the Aug. 22 home game against the Bills, with the likely starter for the final preseason game on Aug. 27 against the Patriots.

Watson has played only 19 games since arriving in Cleveland in 2022 and hasn't played since October 2024 due to two Achilles tears. Sanders, a rookie, earned Pro Bowl honors despite starting just seven games, completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

A.J. Epenesa not inclined to discuss "weird situation" with Browns

The Browns pulled out of the agreement, due to concerns regarding his physical.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Epenesa didn't want to say much about the Browns. He made it clear that he's happy to be with the Eagles.

"Cleveland, you know, it was a weird situation," Epenesa told reporters. "But I don't necessarily want to go back and talk on that in just a weird sense but I'll just leave that in the past and just be happy that I'm not a Brown and that I'm an Eagle."

Is Epenesa healthy now?

"Very healthy," he said, "feeling good, and happy to be here."

His contract with the Eagles pays much less than his contract with the Browns would have entailed — one year, $1.402 million.

A second-round pick in 2020, Epenesa spent his first six seasons with the Bills.
