With Watson possible carried out for the yr with one other season-ending damage, the Browns must flip to Jameis Winston transferring ahead as a result of Dorian Thompson-Robinson suffered a finger damage after taking on for Watson, forcing Stefanski to go along with the veteran journeyman.
Final season, the identical factor occurred to the Browns, with the group having to show to Joe Flacco, who helped lead the group into the playoffs, but it surely stays to be seen if Winston can pull off related success in Cleveland.
