The Cleveland Browns took the week off last week to get healthy and prepare for a very long stretch run in the 2023 NFL season. The primary goal was to get QB Deshaun Watson healthy after he missed Week 4 and rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson looked totally outmatched.
Watson’s injury was confusing from the outside looking in two weeks ago as the quarterback seemed likely to play, didn’t play and then comments afterward sparked controversy over that decision.
With the Browns returning to practice on Monday, things are still not clear with Watson which is cause for alarm for Week 6 against a great San Francisco 49ers team.
