Browns' Watson carted off with Achilles injury


CLEVELAND — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a right Achilles injury toward the end of the first half of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Watson’s leg appeared to hyperextend on the noncontact play as he tried to carry the ball on the first play after the two-minute warning. Watson immediately gave himself up and fell to the ground.

Shortly thereafter, a cart came onto the field and carried off an emotional Watson. The entire Browns sideline came onto the field as he was placed on the cart.

Watson was ruled out shortly afterward.

The Browns had made Jameis Winston inactive as the emergency third quarterback, so Dorian Thompson-Robinson entered the game to replace Watson.

Watson, in his third season in Cleveland, has struggled, posting the lowest QBR of all qualified passers. He was 15-of-17 for 128 yards Sunday before the injury.
