Deshaun Watson (right shoulder) cleared for Browns, starting Sunday
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (right shoulder) will start Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
What It Means:
Watson was removed from the injury report on Friday and will reclaim the starting job from PJ Walker. He attempted playing in Week 7, but this should be Watson's first healthy game since he injured his shoulder in Week 3. His return will likely be a boost for the Browns' offense.
Among the 38 quarterbacks with at least 50 dropbacks this season, Watson is 36th and Walker is 37th in Passing Net Expected Points per attempt. The Cardinals' pass defense ranks 29th in numberFire’s opponent-adjusted NEP model and they allow the ninth-most FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season.
