Watson was 15-for-17 with 128 yards before the injury, and the Browns were trailing the Bengals 7-0. With backup Jameis Winston inactive today, Dorian Thompson-Robinson is in at quarterback for Cleveland as they try to climb back into the game.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, the fear is that Watson suffered a torn Achilles that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1848074717279686723\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">would end his season<\/a>\u00a0and potentially bleed into next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.<\/p>\n<p>The injury occurred with the Browns driving deep in Cincinnati territory, and they did end up punching in a touchdown on a Nick Chubb run to cut their deficit to 7-6. Thompson-Robinson threw one pass on the drive, but it was incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Watson went down during one of his better performances in 2024, even though Cleveland wasn&#8217;t able to put any points on the board while he was in the game. Watson made good choices with the ball and was efficient in the passing game.<\/p>\n<p>Overa,, Watson has had a very tumultuous season. His poor play has been one of the root causes for the downfall of a Browns offense that has been ineffective week after week on its way to a 1-5 start.
