Another week, another starting quarterback lost for the season. The Browns announced Deshaun Watson will have season-ending shoulder surgery after the signal-caller suffered the injury during their Week 10 comeback win over the Ravens. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the Week 11 starter for Cleveland as they take on the Steelers in another AFC North showdown.
In other news, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins once again on a short week when they visit Baltimore on “Thursday Night Football.”
Here’s a look at the Wednesday’s injury report as we begin to find out who might be active for Week 11, and who might be out.
The Bengals’ biggest offensive blow is that they will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins, who did not practice all week. The Ravens had three players also missing practice all week: offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee), linebacker Trenton Simpson (concussion) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf).
