A chaotic slate of NFL games left multiple franchises holding their breath over the health of their franchise quarterbacks heading into Week3.
In Washington, Commanders dual-threat playmaker Jayden Daniels exited on the final play of the first half against the Dallas Cowboys. After having his foot stepped on mid-play, Daniels attempted to break his fall causing a dislocated left elbow.
He was immediately carted to the locker room sparking concern given his past history with elbow dislocations on that same arm.
Meanwhile, Chicago Bears fans witnessed a heartbreaking moment as third-year quarterback Caleb Williams limped off the field in a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams crumpled to the turf untouched while scrambling in the red zone.
Emotional while being carted away, team officials confirmed a non-contact leg injury, casting a dark cloud over Chicago’s early-season momentum.
Deshaun Watson delivers under pressure
While injuries mounted across the league, Cleveland Browns starter Deshaun Watson bought himself critical breathing room. Facing intense pressure and heavy calls for rookie backup Shedeur Sanders after a sluggish opening start, Watson delivered a strong performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Watson threw two touchdown passes to lead Cleveland to take a 23-19 lead before severe weather forced a prolonged lightning delay late in the fourth quarter.
Despite the disruption, Cleveland held on for the win. Watson’s poised, clutch play gives head coach Todd Monken plenty of reason to keep him under center as QB1 heading into Week 3.
