BEREA, Ohio — When the Browns got to their stadium early Sunday morning before the Ravens game, the belief was that quarterback Deshaun Watson would be on the field. After his pregame warm-ups that revealed the shoulder injury sustained the week before caused him to be unable to throw at the capacity he needed to play at an effective level, the plan had to shift.
Since sustaining the injury nearly two weeks ago, Watson has been considered"day-to-day." It's a situation that isn't easy to predict. There's no structural damage to Watson's shoulder. No tears or breaks. Watson being sidelined isn't about pain, either. The quarterback has played through that before, once with a broken rib and a partially collapsed lung."I would never, ever, ever doubt his toughness, ever. I would never doubt his toughness.
This week, the Browns named veteran quarterback P.J. Walker the backup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Walker has been taking the bulk of the reps, stepping in front of rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the QB2 spot this week. Outside on the practice fields, the Browns are focusing on making sure Walker is up to speed with the playbook. They're making sure he's connecting with the receivers and developing some chemistry. He's not new to the game, but being with the team for less than a month makes him new to this system.
