With Deshaun Watson out for a second-straight game, the latest update concerning the Browns quarterback suggests his lingering shoulder injury could continue to keep him sidelined over the next few weeks.
Cleveland has reportedly prepared to move on without Watson, who was ruled out for Week 6 on Friday, as he recovers from what’s been described as a “right rotator cuff contusion,” according to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
Watson’s rotator cuff injury, labeled by Cabot as more than a “run-of-the-mill bruise,” is considered a “strain-like deep contusion,” which causes him notable pain. It’s worth noting a bruised rotator cuff is normally a two-to-six week recovery, depending on its severity.
