Quarterback Deshaun Watson will start on the road Sunday for the Cleveland Browns against his old team, the Houston Texans.
It will be Watson’s first start after serving a 12-game suspension to start the season for repeated sexual misconduct with over two dozen massage therapists. Only time will tell how Watson looks in his old stomping grounds, but four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana (seen above in 2019) predicts Watson will be average.
“Guys are used to getting hurt and missing a number of games, and it’ll take a while, even in practice, to get used to things,” Montana told Fox News. “But he’ll jump in the saddle fairly quick. Obviously with a different team, so that’ll take a little bit of adjusting also at the same time.”
“But how well will he perform? I put my money that he’d be average, maybe a little bit better (than average) than what he’s normally playing at. Just because, no matter what you really do in practice and how physically you stay in shape or do the things you need to do, there’s nothing like the real-time game stuff. And it’ll take him a little bit. I don’t think it’ll take him too long to get back in the swing, but it’ll take a game or two.”
Watson and the Browns enter the contest as seven-point favorites.
