Watson suffered a torn Achilles in Week 7 last season against the Bengals. Cincinnati won the game 21-14. Now there's at least a chance the veteran starts against the Bengals in Week 18 when Cincinnati could be playing for a playoff spot. Watson is 1-2 against the Bengals since joining the Browns in 2022.
The difference between these teams is the Browns' elite defense. Myles Garrett and co. is this team's only path to victory each week. Its a safe bet they will do enough to stymie the Ward and the Titans. But can the offense do their part? That's why tot Total is so embarrassingly low.
Why it will be tough for Shedeur Sanders to prove the Browns don't need to enter the Fernando Mendoza sweepstakes.
The Browns’ quarterback room is thin and largely unproven, meaning this veteran addition could be on the horizon.
As always, Week 14 provides some returns and some question marks about what's to come. Quarterbacks like the Minnesota Vikings' J.J. McCarthy (concussion), the Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels (left elbow) and the Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson (Achilles) all returned to practice on Wednesday.
