The Cleveland Browns will start PJ Walker at quarterback instead of Deshaun Watson as Watson focuses on rehabbing his rotator cuff strain. Watson suffered the injury in Week 3 and missed two games before returning last week but leaving early due to residual swelling affecting his throwing. Walker replaced Watson and led the Browns to a comeback victory, completing 15 of 32 passes for 178 yards and an interception. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson will serve as the backup quarterback in Seattle.
