Title: Cleveland Browns Quarterback Deshaun Watson Sidelined with Another Injury
Subtitle: Browns’ Watson exits Sunday’s game with possible shoulder issue
Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Browns faced a major setback during their game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday as quarterback Deshaun Watson, who had recently returned from a shoulder injury, sustained yet another injury and had to exit the game early in the first quarter.
Watson’s unfortunate incident occurred with just 3:13 left in the opening quarter when he was hit while attempting an incomplete pass. Following the impact, the quarterback remained on the ground for a considerable amount of time before being examined in the team’s blue medical tent. On the sideline, Watson was spotted wearing his helmet, standing beside offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, while flexing his arm in an attempt to alleviate the discomfort in his shoulder.
However, Watson’s struggles persisted, and as the first quarter reached its conclusion, he was once again escorted back into the medical tent, this time accompanied by an independent neurologist. The Cleveland Browns organization has yet to provide an official update on the quarterback’s condition, leaving fans and teammates anxious about his potential absence from future games.
Amidst the quarterback predicament, the Browns managed to secure a crucial turnover, with defensive end Myles Garrett executing a strip-sack on Colts’ quarterback Gardner Minshew, and linebacker Anthony Walker securing the loose ball. P.J. Walker was then called upon to fill in at the quarterback position, and subsequently, the Browns capitalized on a short field, with Kareem Hunt taking a direct snap into the end zone for a touchdown, leveling the game at 14-14.
The Browns will have to regroup and assess their options moving forward, depending on the severity of Watson’s injury and his availability for upcoming games. The quarterback’s resilience will be tested once again, as the team aims to navigate through this challenging period and maintain their momentum in the competitive AFC North division.
