Injury Concerns: Browns’ Watson Taken Off Field

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson faced a potential setback during Sunday’s game against the Bengals. He seemed to have hurt his right leg late in the first half. The injury occurred when Watson attempted a designed run to the right side. Without any contact from the opposing team, Watson went down and his calf appeared to twitch, which could indicate an Achilles issue.

The Browns had to cart Watson off the field, indicating the severity of the injury. Dorian Thompson-Robinson stepped in as the replacement quarterback. This was Thompson-Robinson’s first appearance as a backup this season, with Jameis Winston as the third emergency quarterback. Despite the injury, the Browns managed to finish the drive. Running back Nick Chubb scored a 1-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal. However, kicker Dustin Hopkins missed the extra point after previously missing a field goal, keeping the score at 7-6 in favor of Cincinnati.
