Unable to play quarterback right now for the Browns, Deshaun Watson tried some defense on Thursday. Watson, who will miss his fourth game — and third start — on Sunday at Seattle with a right shoulder injury that has lingered longer than expected, dismissed the idea that he's not doing all he can to get back on the field. Watson's aware his motivation is being questioned, and he's not happy about it.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will not play again this week with a strained right shoulder, a nagging injury that has already cost him three games and lingered much longer than expected.
