Another week, another starting quarterback lost for the season. The Browns announced Deshaun Watson will have season-ending shoulder surgery after the signal-caller suffered the injury during their Week 10 comeback win over the Ravens. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the Week 11 starter for Cleveland as they take on the Steelers in another AFC North showdown.
