Deshaun Watson, who is currently sidelined with a torn Achilles, was previously the starting quarterback for the Browns. Thompson-Robinson stepped in for Watson during a game earlier this season, completing 11-of-24 passes for 82 yards and two interceptions before leaving with a hand injury.

Deshaun Watson suffered a torn Achilles during a previous matchup against the Bengals, contributing to the Browns' quarterback struggles this season.

Deshaun Watson's injuries have led to significant changes in the Browns' quarterback situation, forcing the team to rely on Winston and now Thompson-Robinson as starters.

Watson's tenure in Cleveland has fallen short of expectations, with a passing grade of only 65.8 and a low big-time throw rate of 3.4% over the last two seasons. The team is likely to have a top-10 draft slot, presenting an opportunity to select a high-caliber quarterback, potentially paving the way for Watson's departure after June 1 when his dead cap would decrease significantly. Despite his struggles, the Browns' defense retains considerable talent, which could be bolstered with better offensive support.

Deshaun Watson is out for the season due to a torn Achilles, leaving the Browns in a difficult position at quarterback as they navigate their options for the remainder of the year.
