Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will miss a second straight game with a shoulder injury, despite a bye week in between games.
, as the Browns hadn't given much indication his shoulder issue was serious. The Browns went on to lose 28-3 to their AFC North rivals, with rookie backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson struggling heavily against one of the NFL's best defenses.
It was hoped the Browns' bye in Week 5 would give Watson enough time to recover, but they will now have to wait until at least Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts for a return. The Browns did change one thing during the bye, though.
In 15 games and seven starts, Walker posted 1,461 passing yards, a 57.5 completion rate, 6.4 yards per attempt, five touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. Those numbers don't exactly paint the picture of a Browns savior, especially given their opponent. The Niners are one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL, with all but one of their wins by 15+ points. They're atop most power rankings,The Browns' defense is elite in most stats as well, but few are going to be picking Cleveland for the upset on Sunday. Of course, this is the NFL, where anything can happen.
