Watson led the Browns to a 5-3 record over their first eight games before developing concussion symptoms and being placed in the NFL's five-step protocol last week. Though Watson cleared protocol last Saturday, his lack of on-field reps during the week prompted the Browns to keep him inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Saints. Sanders stepped in under center and overcame a slow start to finish with 297 passing yards, 28 rushing yards, two passing touchdowns and no turnovers in a 23-22 overtime loss, with his performance drawing praise from head coach Todd Monken. Though the Browns will go back to a healthy Watson for Week 10, Sanders' strong outing in New Orleans could put Watson on shakier ground atop the depth chart.
