Deshaun Watson appears to leave the field on the Browns’ fourth down attempt

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson appeared to leave the field in the third quarter of their game against the Washington Commanders.

Based on the show, head coach Kevin Stefanski wanted to try it on 4th and goal. But as time expired, Watson left the field toward the sideline, prompting a reaction from Stefanski.

Things didn’t get much better after that. While Cleveland tried to get back into the game, they trailed 34-6 later in the third quarter.

At the time of writing, Watson was 11 of 23 passing for 100 yards and ran once for five yards.

Watson has struggled this season and is far from his MVP form when he played for the Houston Texans. Heck, his former college coach Dabo Swinney (Clemson) even tried to give him some advice late last month.

“I communicate with these guys all the time, whether they’re 1-2 or 3-0. They’ll be fine,” Swinney said of Watson and Trevor Lawrence. “These guys are good players, it’s a team sport. They certainly know their roles and their long season. Long season. Do not redeem the chips yet. Just keep going.”

As a member of the Houston Texans, Watson was named to the Pro Bowl three times. He led the NFL in passing yards in 2020 (4,823) and led the Texans to the divisional round of the playoffs in 2019.

Watson was traded to the Browns in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 season due to sexual assault allegations. At the beginning of September there was a new lawsuit.

“Deshaun strongly denies the allegations in the Jane Doe lawsuit filed Friday,” his attorney Rusty Hardin said, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “We have asked him not to comment further while this matter is heard in court. But rest assured that he will ultimately be rehabilitated. We stand ready to argue this case in court in due course. But we have no intention of conducting our defense in the media.

“We would ask people to be patient as the legal process unfolds. In the meantime, Deshaun will focus his energy and focus on football.”
