• The injury ends Watson's season, with a recovery timeline of 6 to 9 months, potentially allowing a return by next training camp.
• Watson's performance has been underwhelming since joining the Browns, compounded by previous injuries and off-field controversies.
• Cleveland's offensive struggles continue, with the team at a 1-6 record and considering changes at quarterback for the future.
• Backup quarterback Jameis Winston will start in Watson's absence, as the Browns prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens next.
