Will Deshaun Watson start on Sunday against the Cardinals? Nov 02, 2023

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Wednesday and we were able to watch him throw for the first time since before the Colts game.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk Podcast with Watson’s return to practice and the likelihood of him starting on Sunday against the Cardinals. Is it better to get him out there now instead of waiting for Baltimore? What happens if he struggles again?
