Early Exit in Second Quarter Raises Concerns

Limited Practice Participation

Watson was a limited participant in all three practices leading up to the game. He was listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

Uncertainty Surrounding Return

Watson's injury is a major concern for the Browns, who are fighting for a playoff berth. The Browns are currently 7-6 and in the hunt for one of the three wild-card spots in the AFC.

Similar Injuries in the Past

Watson has a history of shoulder injuries. He missed the entire 2021 season with a torn ACL in his left knee.

Further Updates Expected

The Browns are expected to provide further updates on Watson's injury after the game.
