Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol following the team's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
The move comes after Watson took several hits during the game, though the team did not immediately disclose the specific play that triggered the evaluation. The Browns will monitor his progress through the league's mandated return-to-play steps before he can return to practice or game action.
