Browns’ Deshaun Watson left with a non-contact Achilles injury

CLEVELAND – Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a right Achilles injury late in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Watson’s leg appeared to hyperextend during the non-contact play as he attempted to carry the ball on the first play after the two-minute warning. Watson immediately surrendered and fell to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, a cart came onto the field and whisked away an emotional Watson. The entire Browns sideline came onto the field when he was placed on the cart.

Watson was ruled out shortly afterwards.

The Browns had made Jameis Winston inactive at third quarterback, so Dorian Thompson-Robinson came into the game to replace Watson.

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