Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski mentioned it seems like Watson suffered a torn Achillies on the play.
Watson’s season has been depressing from a efficiency standpoint and has resulted in him being one of many least productive quarterbacks within the NFL. That resulted in a number of requires the Browns to bench him for backup Jameis Winston.
Coming into play on Sunday Watson’s 22.0 complete QBR was the worst among the many NFL’s quarterbacks, whereas the offense had did not prime 300 yards or 20 factors in any of their first six video games, one thing that has not been completed in additional than a decade for any NFL workforce.
Earlier than his harm, Watson had accomplished 15-of-17 passes for 128 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on Sunday.
Stefanski has been adamant that Watson provides the workforce one of the best likelihood to win, and has refused to even take into account a change. Now he won’t have a selection within the matter.
