The situation surrounding Watson’s injury is undeniably intriguing. The information that has trickled out leaves room for speculation, and it was undoubtedly surprising that he didn’t take the field, leaving the rookie Walker in a challenging position coming off the bye week with no practice.

According to recent reports, Watson’s injury has been identified as a subscapularis strain. This diagnosis seems to align with the sequence of events. Contrary to initial beliefs that the injury occurred in the third quarter, it is now believed that it happened in the second quarter when Watson fell on an outstretched shoulder and underwent a concussion check. Subsequently, the discomfort in his shoulder grew over time, yet he powered through the game, delivering solid throws.

The past week appears to have been a planned shutdown for Watson, possibly involving some injection to manage the discomfort. The effectiveness of this treatment will be closely monitored to determine whether Watson will return to the gridiron. Fortunately, the injury does not seem to require surgery and doesn’t appear to be a long-term setback. However, there are still many gaps in the information available, and fans and analysts find themselves playing detective regarding Watson’s recovery timeline.

As we await further updates on Watson’s condition, keeping an eye on the betting odds is essential. The Browns’ performance without their star quarterback could influence the odds for their upcoming games. Whether Watson will return to action this week or in the weeks to come remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: the NFL landscape is constantly evolving, and injuries can quickly shift the odds and outcomes of games.

Stay tuned for more updates on Deshaun Watson’s status as the Cleveland Browns continue their pursuit of victory in the NFL.
