The Facts: Watson will miss a second consecutive game -- and third week -- with a shoulder injury, and he could miss multiple more games. Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports that the Browns quarterback was diagnosed with a right rotator cuff contusion. She adds that "it's a deep contusion that presents or functions more like a strain."
Diehards Line:
Watson, who injured his shoulder in the third quarter of the Sept. 24 game against the Titans, will not return to the field until he can throw normally and without pain. Team doctors medically cleared him Oct. 1 with his shoulder structurally intact. The protocol now calls for rest and rehab with minimal throwing, according to Cabot. Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Watson did some light throwing this week, but the coach offered no prognosis beyond this week. The team now is taking a conservative approach in Watson's return.
