The Story in 60 Seconds

The Houston Texans are preparing to face quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns in Week 10 following multiple reports confirming Watson has cleared concussion protocol. Watson missed Cleveland's recent overtime defeat to the New Orleans Saints due to a concussion suffered against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland decided to reinstall Watson as the starter despite backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders nearly leading the Browns to a victory in his absence.

Clayton Anderson of Toro Times writes that Houston should manage against Cleveland's offense, which ranks among the NFL's lowest in scoring and total yardage. Through eight games, Watson has accumulated 1,806 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, and three interceptions.
