Browns QB Deshaun Watson out for season with torn Achilles

Absolutely nothing is going right for the Cleveland Browns in 2024. Entering the new campaign, the hope was that the AFC North side could not only push for a postseason spot, but also try and fight for a division title.

Seven games into the year, and both dreams are off the table. Cleveland is 1-6 on the campaign and things were made worse for them in the loss to the Bengals on Sunday. Quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with a serious injury and we now know he's out for the rest of the season:

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, further tests confirmed that Watson tore his Achilles. Nothing was going right for the Browns and now Watson won't be back until 2025. It's time to start thinking about the NFL Draft for Cleveland and a new QB1 of the future could be in the cards for them when they're on the clock in the first round next spring.
