Deshaun Watson to Start for Browns Against Cardinals, Stafford's Status Questionable for Rams

Deshaun Watson to return to field after recovering from shoulder injury, expected to boost Browns for upcoming game as Matthew Stafford's thumb sprain leaves Rams uncertain.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is confirmed to start against the Arizona Cardinals, marking his return to the field after missing three of the last four games due to a strained rotator cuff.
Watson was limited in practice early in the week but participated fully by Friday, indicating significant progress in his recovery from the shoulder injury.
In Watson's absence, the Browns cycled between rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and veteran PJ Walker, but struggled to replicate Watson's offensive production.
Matthew Stafford's status for the Los Angeles Rams is still questionable as he recovers from a UCL sprain in his right thumb. The Rams are ready to make a game-time decision on Stafford, who didn't practice this week.
While Stafford's absence would be a blow to the Rams, the return of Watson is seen as a boost for the Browns, who are currently in contention for the AFC North title despite their recent losses.
