Even if the Cleveland Browns didn’t lose RB Nick Chubb, OL Jack Conklin and safety Rodney McLeod, the story of the season would still be around an injury. QB Deshaun Watson’s early season shoulder issue and midseason shoulder surgery has created a quarterback conundrum for a team that is still 7-4.
That conundrum now might place its hopes on the arm of veteran Joe Flacco who just joined the team a few weeks ago.
The Browns playoff push started with Watson, moved to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson then to veteran journeyman PJ Walker, back to Watson and then back to DTR.
