The Browns opened training camp Wednesday with the continuation of their quarterback competition battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, who coach Todd Monken said will continue to split first-team reps in practice.
On Day 1, it was Watson who took all the first-team reps but the veteran passer struggled. On back-to-back throws in 11-on-11 drills, Watson threw passes that were intercepted by cornerbacks Denzel Ward and Damarri Mathis.
Before practice, Monken did not disclose a timeline for naming a starting quarterback but indicated he plans to play his starters in the preseason, which would make for pivotal evaluation periods in the competition.

More observations from the day:
Veteran defensive end Jadeveon Clowney visited the Browns on Wednesday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Clowney, 33, had a two-year stint in Cleveland from 2021 to 2022 and recorded 11 sacks.
Tight end Harold Fannin Jr. said he missed the offseason workout program because of surgery to address a late-season groin injury but was cleared to play two weeks ago.
Fourth-year offensive lineman Dawand Jones lined up at left tackle with the starting unit, while 2026 first-round pick Spencer Fano practiced with the second unit.
Mathis and defensive tackle Kalia Davis left practice early and did not return with apparent injuries.
Rookie tight end Joe Royer was not at practice because of personal reasons.
Ward on his record-breaking extension: "I'm a Cleveland kid through and through and this is where I'm at, and this is where I want to be."
