Following Watson's injury, defensive end Myles Garrett emphasized the importance of showing empathy towards injured players, urging fans not to boo in such situations.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has struggled since being traded to the team in 2022, is believed to have suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, pending further tests.

Watson's disappointing tenure includes only 19 starts, an 11-game suspension, and two major injuries, making his future with the team uncertain.

During the game, Watson was emotional while being carted off the field and was ruled out early in the third quarter.

In a silver lining for the Browns, running back Nick Chubb made a triumphant return from injury, scoring a touchdown shortly after Watson's injury.

Chubb had limited carries in the second half, but head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed there were no issues with his performance.

Cleveland has also signed veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who has had prior success with the team, as they search for a reliable starting option.

In contrast to the Browns' struggles, the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated after defeating the San Francisco 49ers, showcasing the competitive nature of the league.

The Browns, currently with a record of 1-5, are hopeful that Chubb's return will provide a much-needed boost as they face the 2-4 Bengals at home.

Chubb received a warm ovation from fans during pregame introductions, contrasting sharply with Watson, who faced boos.

With Watson's injury, Stefanski may need to adjust the offensive strategy, especially with Chubb back in the lineup.

Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is expected to be 'extra prepared' to step in if needed, signaling the team's confidence in him.
