Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson did not practice Monday as he continues to deal with a right shoulder injury that sidelined him for one game before the bye week. Watson remained inside the team's facility while his teammates worked outdoors in their first practice following their bye. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski did not provide any new specifics about Watson's injury on Monday.
Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Deshaun Watson was cleared by the team's medical staff to play Sunday with a bruised right shoulder, but the quarterback made the decision following a brief warmup. There had been some confusion about whether Watson made the call or it was made for him following the Browns' 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Stefanski reiterated Monday that Watson's shoulder is structurally sound, but the QB felt he couldn't perform at a winning level.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against rival Baltimore because of a shoulder injury. Coach Kevin Stefanski says he's “hopeful” Watson will be healthy enough to play. “He knows how to take care of his body," Stefanski said.
Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb will undergo surgery on his left knee after suffering a gruesome season-ending injury in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. A four-time Pro Bowler in six seasons, Chubb got hurt when Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick tackled him low on a carry in the second quarter. The impact buckled the same knee Chubb injured in 2015 at Georgia and had reconstructed.
Cleveland Browns No. 1 wide receiver Amari Cooper injured his groin late in Saturday's practice and is questionable for Monday night's game at Pittsburgh. Coach Kevin Stefanski didn't have much information on Cooper, who underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury during the offseason. Cooper was on the field during the portion of practice open to the media.
