Browns' QB Deshaun Watson left the field with an apparent right leg injury

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was stretchered off the field Sunday with an apparent right leg injury.

Watson suffered a non-contracted injury in the second quarter of the Browns' game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was about to make a quarterback play when his right leg gave way and he hit the ground.

Watson was on the field for a short time before the car was brought out. Dorian Thompson-Robinson replaced him for Cleveland.

Watson has struggled a lot so far this season. He entered Sunday ranked 31st and last among all QBs in quarterback rating. He also ranks second to last in expected total points and has the second-worst passer rating among players who appeared in at least six games.

Entering Sunday, the Browns' passing offense ranked last in yards per play and yards per attempt and had suffered more sacks than any other team.

Availability was an issue for Watson during his time with the Browns. He only appeared in six games last season and only six the year before because he was suspended for 11 weeks after 22 women sued him over allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

In six games entering Week 7, Watson threw for 1,020 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. He left Sunday's game having completed 15 of 17 passes for 128 yards.

Cleveland signed Watson to a five-year, $230 million contract after trading for him in March 2022. His contract is fully guaranteed and includes a no-trade clause.

Even if the Browns released Watson after this season, they would still owe him $92 million.
