UPDATE: Cleveland Browns Get Huge Injury Update On Deshaun Watson- Week 6

Cleveland Browns star quarterback Deshaun Watson got some disappointing news today regarding his shoulder injury. The quarterback will not participate in practice today due to a shoulder issue that makes him questionable to play in the Browns’ week six matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. This news comes from NFL insider Tom Pelissero via Twitter.

Watson’s injury occurred way back in week three in the third quarter with 6:35 remaining in Cleveland’s blowout victory against the Tennessee Titans. He took the snap and ran on a quarterback keep play to the left side of the field. Titans safety Amani Hooker hit the quarterback’s shoulder with great force to try and stop him. Watson was able to finish the game, though, and recorded his best stat line of the year so far going for 27-33 on his attempts and 289 yards for two touchdowns.

Deshaun Watson has gotten his team to a 2-2 start this season and has amounted to 678 passing yards and four touchdowns. Cleveland had an early bye last week which would usually help with these types of injuries, but not in Watson’s case. The Browns are prepared to start backup P.J. Walker if the star quarterback cannot participate.

This would be a huge loss for the Browns as they face the undefeated 49ers this weekend. It’s not like they can just hand the ball off to Nick Chubb either since he is out for the rest of the year. This is an ongoing situation and will continue to be updated as the week progresses.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cleveland Browns fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The bye week has come and gone, and now the Browns are getting ready to take on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. We thought we would have more clarity on the team’s quarterback situation, but it’s as murky as ever — with fan confidence in the Browns already sinking heading into the bye, I don’t expect it to get any better with a talented team like San Francisco ahead of us — but still cast your vote, nonetheless.

We are asking two other questions this week. The first one asks what you expect the outcome of this Sunday’s game against the 49ers to be. I don’t think fans are too optimistic, given what happened against the Ravens, but maybe there will be some optimism for the defense to carry the team.

The other question asks who you think should start at quarterback, if Deshaun Watson can’t play. We know that rumors have indicated that P.J. Walker might get the start, but use your own opinion on who you’d want to see: Walker, or DTR?
