Deshaun Watson, the quarterback, will be absent in the upcoming game against the Seahawks. This decision is due to Watson’s ongoing rotator cuff injury, which he has been managing for four weeks. The Browns are classifying Watson’s status as day-to-day while he focuses on rehabilitation. Consequently, the team will rely on P.J. Walker as their quarterback and lean on their formidable defense to continue their winning streak.
In addition to Watson, the Browns have a lengthy injury report at the start of the week, possibly affecting their trip to Seattle. Running back Jerome Ford is a notable player to watch as reports suggest he may miss several weeks due to an ankle injury sustained against Indianapolis. If confirmed, this would lead to an increased workload for veteran Kareem Hunt and former Patriots running back Pierre Strong, who saw more playing time in the previous game after Ford’s injury.
The injury situation remains fluid, and updates on the Browns’ injury report are expected throughout the week. Here are the injury status details for Wednesday and Thursday:
