Deshaun Watson delivered for the Cleveland Browns in Week 10 but he certainly had to show some toughness along the way.

In the 33-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens, Watson took multiple big hits and hurt his ankle along the way. After the game, Watson was seen leaving in a boot.

#Browns QB Deshaun Watson in a walking boot. Says he doesn’t feel great now but “I’ll be fine.” Adds he’ll be ready to go next Sunday. We’ll keep an eye on his status throughout the week.

The boot is just for precautionary reasons and shouldn’t be a big worry. Just before halftime, Watson trotted back to the locker room a play early to likely get his ankle taped up. Watson said he would be fine and it is a good sign for his availability next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Watson was sacked four times by the Ravens’ tenacious defense and hit the ground a few more times. Still, Watson was able to lead the Browns to a game-winning drive with the bummed.

Obviously, Watson has missed a few games this season with a right shoulder injury. The ankle is not expected to be as serious, but could very well limit him some in practice this week.

Next up for the Browns is another defense that can be tough with the Steelers. Cleveland would love to get RT Dawand Jones back for that one after he was unavailable in Week 10 with a shoulder and knee.
