REPORT: Latest Injury Update On Deshaun Watson Spells Doom For The Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson made his first start in nearly a month Sunday at Indianapolis then left in the first quarter with what appeared to be a right arm injury.

Now, it appears he may be sidelined even further.

ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter reported doctors told Watson that he has “a strain of the subscapularis within the rotator cuff and he continues to have both pain and weakness with movement.”

He brought up how an injury like this would have a pitcher missing four-to-six weeks.

Watson was removed from Sunday’s game for precautionary reasons after taking a hard hit in the first quarter against the Colts. PJ Walker led the Browns to a surprise victory over previously unbeaten San Francisco in Week 6 and continued that win streak over the Colts, 39-38.

Watson was 1 of 5 with 5 yards and one interception before leaving Sunday’s game.

Watson’s playing status for Sunday’s game in Seattle remains unclear but based on this news, you’d expect he would not play again as the Browns continue to win despite him being out.
