What happened: Deshaun Watson is set to start at quarterback in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Cleveland previously expected Watson to return to the lineup after sitting out a 23-22 road loss to New Orleans. Watson had been listed as questionable heading into the week.
Why it matters: Cleveland enters the matchup at 5-4, seeking to protect its standing in the AFC postseason picture against a Texans team that won 44-22 over the Chargers last week. The game also pits Watson against the franchise that originally drafted him 12th overall in 2017.
By the numbers: Watson has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1,806 yards with 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Watson and Cleveland host the Texans on Sunday in Week 10 action.
