Deshaun Watson's rocky season took another hit Sunday when he exited Cleveland's Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers after a big hit from a defender, according to Yahoo Sports and Sporting News.
The play drew a roughing the passer penalty, and Watson had to leave the field, opening the door for rookie Shedeur Sanders to take over under center. Yahoo Sports reported that Watson had briefly returned to the game in the first quarter but was hit hard again almost immediately after coming back in.
Details on the severity of Watson's injury were still emerging as the game continued, with Sanders stepping into the spotlight to lead the Browns offense in his place.
