Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Deshaun Watson is still considered the leader of the team despite being removed from Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Watson exited the game in the first quarter after taking a hit and although he cleared concussion protocol, Stefanski decided to go with backup PJ Walker for the rest of the game. Walker led the Browns to a game-winning scoring drive for the second consecutive week, resulting in a 39-38 victory over the Colts. Watson had completed only 1 of 5 passes for five yards with an interception before leaving the game. The Browns are still gathering information on Watson's shoulder injury and Stefanski did not disclose whether they are considering putting him on injured reserve.
