Deshaun Watson Injury update : Browns’ quarterback leaves the game against Bengals

The nightmare season continues for Deshaun Watson

During the last two minutes of the Browns-Bengals week 7 matchup, Deshaun Watson left the game after what is probably an Achilles injury.

On this action Deshaun Watson wanted to start a run but fell on the ground touching his Achilles in apparent pain.

He has been carted off the field in tears.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson took over at quarterback in place of Watson, while Jameis Winston was listed as inactive.

If the torn Achilles is conformed, this would require surgery and Watson will not see the field again this season.

In six games this season, Watson has thrown for 1,020 yards, with five touchdowns and three interceptions, posting a quarterback rating of 22.3.
