Deshaun Watson injury update: Browns QB suffers apparent serious injury

The Cleveland Browns have had no shortage of injury issues so far this season, and that continued in the Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals after quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an injury in the second quarter.

Watson has struggled mightily this season, which is a big reason behind the team's 1-5 start. It has been perplexing to watch Watson play football, as he was once an up-and-coming star but has looked like a shell of himself since coming to the Browns.

But Watson now has an injury issue, as the veteran quarterback went down with a non-contact injury in the second quarter against the Bengals on Sunday. Here's the latest update.
