Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson admitted Thursday that he won’t be ready to play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts because of a shoulder injury.
The three-time Pro Bowler hasn’t had his best performance in a Cleveland uniform since suffering an injury during the team’s Week 3 win against the Tennessee Titans in late September.
Watson finished the game 27-for-33 with 289 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
He missed the Browns’ last two games in Weeks 4 and 6 (the team’s Week 5), but started last Sunday against the Colts. Watson played just 12 snaps, going 1-for-5 for 5 yards, and was injured and sidelined by P.J.

Watson said Thursday that he will take the throws “one at a time” this week, adding, “You have to take the steps, not the jumps.”
He confirmed that surgery is not an option either.The 28-year-old also strongly denied rumors that he did not want to play.
Watson is 66-107 (61.7 completion percentage) for 683 passing yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions, good for an 80.9 passer rating through four games.
He added 15 carries for 83 yards and a score on the ground.
