Watson suffered the injury and had to be carted off during the second quarter of Sunday’s 21-14 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson left the game with a finger injury, forcing Jameis Winston to finish out the game.
It was the latest miserable chapter for a quarterback who isn’t exactly embraced by the Browns fanbase. During the pre-game player introductions, Browns fans booed Watson as he made his way onto the field, much to the chagrin of his backup.
And when he was down on the field with his Achilles injury, many spectators cheered:

Speaking to reporters after the game, Jameis Winston expressed disgust and disappointment with the Browns fans who booed Watson and cheered, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
“I am very upset with the reaction to a man that has had the world against him for the past four years. And he put his body and life on the line for this city. Every single day.
Regardless of your perception, regardless of what you thought should happen with him, he committed every single day that I’ve been here to be the best that he can be for this team…the way I was raised, I will never pull on a man when he’s down. But I will be the person to lift him up.”
The Browns took a major risk two years ago when they acquired Watson in a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns, even though he had been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women. Watson was handed a $230 million fully guaranteed contract before playing a snap for the Browns, even with an 11-game suspension on the horizon.
With Watson likely done for the season, the Browns must choose between the more experienced Jameis Winston or the younger Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Browns Should Turn To Jameis Winston
The Browns are now 1-6 and well out of the postseason race. They already gave up on making the playoffs by trading star wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns, with more moves sure to follow.
This has been a miserable season for the Browns, but it’s worth giving Jameis Winston a chance to revive his career. He’s been one of the league’s better backups over the last three years, and the former first-overall pick might be able to provide shot-term stability at the game’s most important position.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.
Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.
That was then, and this is now.
It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.
The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.
Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.
Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season
Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.
He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.
He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.
Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
