What happened: The Browns announced Wednesday that Deshaun Watson (concussion) will start Sunday's game against the Texans. Per Ian Rapoport on GMFB, Carson Beck is now Arizona's QB1, and Davante Adams should be back sooner than expected from a hamstring injury.
Why it matters: Watson has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1,806 yards with 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games. Beck, a third-round pick (65th overall) out of Miami in the 2026 NFL Draft, takes over the Cardinals' top quarterback job.
By the numbers: Watson, 2026 through 8 games: 163 of 249, 1,806 yards, 7 TD, 3 INT. Josh Jacobs, 2026 through 3 games: 36 carries, 80 yards, 1 TD. Jacobs is listed Out on the Packers' injury report. Cleveland's last game was a 22-23 loss at the Saints on Nov. 8.
What to watch: Watson's start Sunday against Houston is the next test for the Browns. Rapoport also reported an update on Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who is listed Out.
