The Cleveland Browns have come out of their bye week with more uncertainty, it seems, than they went in with. QB Deshaun Watson, after missing the team’s Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, was not on the practice field on Monday.
HC Kevin Stefanski used language like “functionally ready” to vaguely describe what the Browns are hoping from Watson.
On top of that, OL Joel Bitonio was not at practice and, according to a report, left the Berea facilities on crutches during the bye week. It is unknown what kind of issue the veteran lineman is dealing with.
