Browns’ Watson active vs. Colts after 2-game absence

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is active for Sunday’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Watson missed the Browns’ previous two games due to bruising around his right rotator cuff.

The 28-year-old posted a 2-1 record as a starter before he was sidelined by the shoulder ailment. He has thrown for 678 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions, with a 63.7% completion rate.

P.J. Walker got the starting nod for Cleveland’s 19-17 victory over the 49ers. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson started the team’s loss to the Ravens.

Running back Kareem Hunt will also join Watson in the backfield after being a limited participant in practice during the week with a thigh ailment.
