If you're planning Sunday around the Browns, Todd Monken made it official Friday: Shedeur Sanders starts at New Orleans. Deshaun Watson is in and listed as questionable.

Watson returned to practice on a limited basis Friday but took no team reps, and Monken isn't sure Watson would be active even if he clears the protocol Saturday. Sanders took all the first-team reps Wednesday through Friday. “I liked his confidence,” Monken said.

  • Kickoff: Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Saints
  • Browns record: 5-3, on a 3-game road trip
  • Sanders' last start: a 20-18 win over the Bengals
  • If Watson isn't QB2: Dillon Gabriel, with Taylen Green at QB3

Watson was sacked eight times and hit 13 in the loss to the Steelers

Cavs spoil LeBron James' homecoming with a 119-⁠95 win over the 76ers

Friday had been circled on the calendar for months, and the Cavs beat LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers 119-95 in NBA Cup group play. It snapped a two-game losing skid and handed the Sixers just their second loss of the season.

James got loud cheers during introductions, mixed with some booing, and finished with a season-low eight points on 3-of-12 shooting. “Nothing can get as worse as Dec. 2 2010, from a reception standpoint,” he said. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley each scored 22 for Cleveland, which played without Jarrett Allen and Jaylon Tyson.

  • Records: Cavs 5-4, 76ers 8-2
  • Sixers shot 36.5% overall and 25% from 3-point range
  • Biggest Cavs lead: 24 points
  • Next: Knicks on Saturday at 8 p.m.

James had eight points, seven rebounds and six turnovers
