Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson are two quarterbacks who have suffered injuries and are unable to play for the remainder of the season.
Deshaun Watson would undergo season-ending surgery to repair a broken bone in his throwing shoulder after he suffered a displaced fracture in his right glenoid in his right shoulder.
While facing the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11, Burrow was knocked out of the game with a wrist injury, and not long after his exit from the contest, it was announced he was ruled out of the game. It would then be announced he was undergoing season-ending wrist surgery.
Both players still were the talk of the sports world this past week over two starkly different images.
One image showed the Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback with his arm in a sling, a headset on, and him sitting on the bench looking at plays on the Microsoft Tablet.
The Cleveland Browns star QB on the other hand was seen in his best outfit sporting an expensive watch, and sunglasses, and sitting with his arm in a sling in a suite alongside his girlfriend.

NFL fans reacted to the post:
Burrow threw for 2,309 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions, leading the Bengals to a 5-4 record, prior to his injury. The former No. 1 overall pick signed a five-year, $275 million deal, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history, in September.
In six total games this season, Watson ends the year with 1,115 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions. Cleveland had a 5–1 record in games that Watson played, although the quarterback didn’t finish all of those games as he tried playing through his various injuries.
