DeShaun Watson is exited the Cleveland Browns’ Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the very first drive of the game after getting hit by safety Jaquan Brisker as he was getting rid of the ball. Brisker was penalized for a helmet-to-helmet hit, and Watson immediately went into the blue medical tent. Shedeur Sanders took over for Cleveland at quarterback.
Watson returned the game on Cleveland’s second drive.
