Good news for Cleveland : Browns issue positive update on key man

Deshaun Watson absorbed some knocks in the Cleveland Browns’ 27-0 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but he’ll be fine to face the Baltimore Ravens this week.

On Monday, November 6, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was questioned about his quarterback’s health and kept it simple.

“He’s pretty good,” Stefanski added.

Watson missed many games due to a rotator cuff ailment, but he returned to face the Cardinals. He took some time to get into a groove versus Arizona, but he finished with a good stat line. Watson completed 63.3 percent of his passes, gaining 219 yards and scoring twice.

It wasn’t particularly outstanding, but the Browns didn’t need him with the defense, which held the Cardinals to just 58 yards of total offense — the lowest total for an NFL team this season.

Watson didn’t appear to be fully recovered and stated after the game that he wasn’t. He did, however, have his moments, including two deep connects with Amari Cooper.

“I get to see him practice. I occasionally see him in games. “You’re going to miss some shots,” Stefanski said. “Not many people throw 100 percent of the time, but two balls in particular stand out — the one to Amari, the deep one, and then the earlier play action to Amari in stride.” I think he made some pretty good decisions, but he’s a good player who made some key plays for us [Sunday].”
