Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart

No, I think Deshaun Watson has earned the right to be the quarterback for the next couple of games. I don't think this is– if he doesn't play well this next game, then all of a sudden he's going to be benched. I think they probably will give him a little bit more of a leash there.
