Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered an achilles injury during the Cincinnati Bengals game. Watson was carted off the field, he presumably tore his achilles and will be out for the season. Players from both teams crowded around Watson and wished him well before he was driven off.
Watson struggled in his first half against the Bengals. He was coming into his own near the end of the second quarter. Watson was evading pressure and making plays out of structure. He led the Browns into the Bengals’ side of the field before his injury.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson was promoted to the second string before the game. The Browns shocked fans making Jameis Winston a healthy scratch. The move has worked well so far.
Thompson-Robinson delivered a beautiful back shoulder throw to Cedric Tillman which resulted in a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone. The ball was placed at the one-yard line, and Nick Chubb scored his first touchdown of the season, four plays later. The Browns are losing to the Bengals 6-7 at the end of the first half.
