Deshaun Watson’s unsuccessful and disappointing stay with Cleveland has taken another significant turn.
The embattled quarterback was carted off the field Sunday with a right Achilles tendon injury he suffered on a non-contact play against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Watson, who has not lived up to expectations in his two-plus seasons with Cleveland, went down without being touched on a second-down play with 1:26 left in the first half.
Watson dropped back to pass at the Cincinnati 21-yard line. When he planted, his right leg buckled and he dropped to the ground.
Watson immediately put his hands to his head as he lay on the field in obvious pain. Cleveland’s training staff rushed out to assist him and were soon joined by all the Browns as well as the Bengals, who came over from their sideline to surround Watson and offer their support.
