Watson rusty in return but Browns get 27-14 win over Texans

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — Deshaun Watson didn’t play well Sunday in his return after sitting out almost two years. “Coming back here, first game in a while, his teammates had his back.” Cleveland didn’t score on offense until a 43-yard field goal made it 17-8 with about 10 minutes remaining. “I’m just disappointed in how we played offensively.” It was Watson’s first start since Jan. 3, 2021, when he threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns for Houston in a 41-38 loss to Tennessee. INJURIES Browns rookie WR David Bell injured his hand in the first quarter.. Schwartz left in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury.. MLB Sione Takitaki injured his leg in the fourth quarter.. TE David Njoku missed his third game in five weeks with a knee injury.. Texans RB Troy Hairston injured his ribs in the second quarter.. RB Rex Burkhead missed the game with a concussion.. WR Brandin Cooks sat out with a calf injury. “This is my first football game ever, so I’m excited for that.” UP NEXT Browns: Visit the Bengals next Sunday.
