“Don’t Celebrate This”: NFL World Remains Divided As Deshaun Watson Returns After 11-Game Suspension
Follow Us
The NFL World saw the first glimpses of geared-up Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. The quarterback made his return from being suspended for 11 games after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. This suspension came to effect on August 30. Watson still has two more games before he can play.
But, the quarterback was spotted practicing with the Brown for the first time since the suspension came into effect. Jacoby Brissett, who took on the reins after Watson’s suspension, will prepare to go up against the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even though he is currently splitting practice reps with Watson. Watson will reportedly make his first game appearance against the Houston Texans.

If we thought this team lacked mental toughness before imagine how they’re going to handle the vitriol of the entire league every time he steps on the field.

Why do we keep talking about the offense- this is the worst defense in football. QB play is immaterial to this team

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that this is the next step for Watson while mentioning it was good to have him back on the field. But Stefanski emphasized that their priority at the moment was getting ready to face the Buffalo Bills and preparing quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
Where do the Browns stand?
Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney had some positive things to say about Watson‘s return.

Clowney said, “He’s a big energy booster for a team. He can go out there, make some crazy throws, make some plays… I’m just ready for it… We need to be in a good situation when he gets back. So that’s what we’re fighting for right now.”
The Cleveland Browns are in it for the long haul, with Watson having signed a guaranteed $230 million five-year contract with the quarterback. The Browns are coming off a 39-17 defeat against the Miami Dolphins. Trailing the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland is ranked third in the AFC North.
