Deshaun Watson exits Colts game early

Deshaun Watson left the game against the Colts after the first quarter with a shoulder injury. Watson has been battling a right shoulder injury for the past month. A lot of secrecy has surrounded Watson’s injury over the past month, leading many to wonder how healthy the franchise quarterback is. It is still unclear what specifically ails Watson. Watson is being examined by the Cleveland Browns medical staff and the independent neurologist who checks for concussions.  

Watson leaves the game against the Colts with one completion for five yards and an interception on five attempts. Watson threw another interception that would later be ruled incomplete on the play he was injured on. Hopefully, Watson will be able to get back to full health. The Browns cannot continue to rush the quarterback back. Watson’s arm looked very weak today. 

The Browns need to rely on P.J. Walker to help dig them out of a 14-7 deficit against the Colts. P.J. Walker is a solid backup quarterback who helped lead the team to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.
