Just when the Cleveland Browns thought they were headed towards the post-season with an offense that finally was hitting on all cylinders, QB Deshaun Watson was lost for the year. He had already missed several games this season, but in the comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens, he sustained a high ankle sprain. While going through an MRI, he complained about his shoulder. Upon examination, it was determined that Watson had a displaced fracture to the glenoid of his already banged-up throwing shoulder.
Although Watson wanted to shoot pain medicine on game day and play through the injury, it was determined that this injury would require immediate surgical repair to avoid further structural damage.
