Browns believe QB Watson suffered torn Achilles

NFL

CLEVELAND — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a noncontact right leg injury toward the end of the first half of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Watson’s leg appeared to hyperextend as he tried to carry the ball on the first play after the two-minute warning. Watson immediately gave himself up and fell to the ground.

Shortly thereafter, a cart came onto the field and carried off the emotional Watson. The entire Browns sideline came onto the field as Watson was placed on the cart.

The Browns made Jameis Winston inactive as the emergency third quarterback, so Dorian Thompson-Robinson entered the game at quarterback.

Watson, in his third season in Cleveland, has struggled this season, posting the lowest QBR of all qualified passers. He was 15-of-17 for 128 yards before the injury.
