MORE COMPLICATIONS: Deshaun Watson’s Situation With Cleveland Browns Just Became More Complicated Due to.

The Cleveland Browns’ offence has failed to score more than 17 points in any of their first three games of the season. Deshaun Watson and the passing attack have struggled, and an injury report on Monday raises concerns for Week 4. According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that All-Pro guard Wyatt Teller is expected to miss several weeks and could be placed on injured reserve this week due to a Grade 2 MCL injury. According to Garafolo, “All-Pro G Wyatt Teller suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain on Sunday against the Giants and is expected to miss roughly four weeks, a source said. Kevin Stefanski stated today that Teller might be placed on IR, which would keep him out of action until his estimated comeback date.

The Browns offensive line has been plagued by injuries in the early season. Right tackle Jack Conklin (hamstring) was ruled out before the Browns’ Week 3 game against the New York Giants. The Browns’ offensive lineman, Hakeem Adeniji and Luke Wypler, are on injured reserve. Michael Dunn is on the NFI list.

The injuries up front are making it extremely difficult for Watson. The Browns have allowed a league-high 16 sacks in the first three games. These hits have had a negative impact on Watson’s output. He’s completed 67-of-116 passes for 551 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Things won’t be easy for Watson and the Browns’ offensive line in Week 4.

The 1-2 Browns will travel to meet the 1-2 Las Vegas Raiders, where they will face Maxx Crosby, one of the league’s greatest pass rushers. After a sluggish start, many Cleveland fans and some in the media are demanding for Watson to be benched (he has rejected new sexual assault charges). These calls could become more often if the offence struggles against a Raiders team that surrendered 36 points to Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Teller’s injury will not make it easier for Watson to recover. But, again, will the pass protection be adequate for backup quarterback Jameis Winston to ignite the offence?
