The Cleveland Browns will take the win in Week 7 in an ugly game but they have bigger worries coming out of it.
Cleveland defeated the Colts 39-38, to move to 4-2 on the season. But the Browns have some other things to worry about now.
After returning following two games missed, Deshaun Watson played less than eight minutes into the fourth quarter before again exiting. Watson was checked for a concussion but was cleared to return. According to the CBS broadcast, head coach Kevin Stefanski held Watson out.
Insert P.J. Walker, who entered the game at quarterback and didn’t play all that well. After a poor performance despite the win over San Francisco, things were again bad for him. Walker finished 15-of-32 with no touchdowns and an interception.
Cleveland got the win, but not every team they come across is going to the Colts. When facing tougher divisional opponents, Walker will not be able to get it done.
When Watson was in, he struggled far before his head bounced off the ground and left the game. Watson completed 1-of-5 passes for five yards and one interception. A couple of his passes came out low and short of intended receivers.
The question is now, is Watson’s shoulder healthy enough to play? With him being cleared from protocol, one would think he would return. As he got off the ground when hurt, he favored the shoulder a bit.
Next week, it will be a lot clearer where Watson stands with his shoulder. If he is practicing to the full extent like he did on Friday, worries will lessen.
Right now, the Browns don’t have a quarterback that can get it done and had to rely heavily on the defense and timely plays.
