Browns player Deshaun Watson left the field with an apparent Achilles injury

Deshaun Watson left Sunday’s game after an apparent serious leg injury.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback was carted off the field after his right calf muscle appeared to snap — which is normally a pretty good indication of an Achilles injury.

Watson tucked the ball in to run, and on his very first step the muscle clearly gave way – the image was extremely similar to Kevin Durant’s Achilles injury.

It’s been a rough season for Watson and the Browns, who started 1-5. Last week they traded Amari Cooper.

Watson is in his fourth year with the Browns after signing a fully guaranteed $240 million contract that is on pace to become perhaps the worst deal in NFL history.

Watson was accused of sexual harassment by more than twenty women, which caused him to miss almost two years of football.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson entered the game for Cleveland, who will face its AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals. Jameis Winston was declared inactive prior to the game.

Watson was playing perhaps his best game of the season until the injury, completing 15 of his 17 passes for 128 yards.

The Browns didn’t seem to miss him too much as they scored a few plays later. In some irony, it was Nick Chubb who found the end zone in his first game since his serious knee injury last year.

The injury, assuming the worst, would end Watson’s season. At the time of the injury, he had thrown for 1,020 yards with a completion percentage of 61.3, the second-lowest mark of his career. He only has five touchdowns.
