#Browns Deshaun Watson gets pat on back from Kevin Stefanski, Andrew Berry and handshake from Alex Van Pelt.
I'm no body language expert but I'm starting to think he won't play. We'll know officially at 11:30 if not sooner.
He didn't make a throw longer than 10 yards.

DTR is starting, per source.

Deshaun Watson is not able to play today, source says. The #Browns turn to their backup.

bummed out is an understatement

We win and fans call for DTR to start the rest of season.

With Watson possibly out, it will be on Robinson to have a good game. which I believe he will. Hopefully the Browns can establish a running game to take some pressure off of him. Must gain good yards on 1st and 2nd down and limit the 3rd and longs. Have long, time consuming drives and score TDs when in the Red Zone, not FGs.

Ravens Defense linking their chops. They will blitz often. This could get ugly.

yeah, talk about a nightmare .. this is such an important game and it's such a tough spot for DTR

24hrs ago, the #Browns were pretty confident in Deshaun Watson’s availability … and not so sure about David Njoku’s.

Well, in a surprising turn of events, Watson won’t start… and I’m told that Njoku (facial burns) is good to go

In some ways. I kind of feel like DTR is uniquely prepared for it for a rookie, though. Spent 5 years with Chip Kelly and has a lot of on the field college experience with the Kelly NFL influence.

Definitely gonna be an increase in speed to get used to, though. At least the Ravens aren't entirely healthy. Plus, the defense can hopefully carry a good chunk of the load.

we are going to need to take the ball away 1-2 times IMO ... we gotta do anything possible to not let DTR backed up

Ravens inactives at Browns:

WR Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle)
WR Rashod Bateman (hamstring)
OT Ronnie Stanley (knee)
CB Marlon Humphrey (foot)
OLB Odafe Oweh (ankle)
FS Marcus Williams (pectoral)
QB Josh Johnson (3rd QB)

Nice little break not having to face Marcus Williams, though Kyle Hamilton and Geno Stone have been duo for them.

yeah their DBacks historically give us fits

This game is 100% lose chance now. Our medical staff sucks. A rookie qb against ravens . We might get a fg. This team is cursed

Outside of the Steelers or Niners, this is certainly the worst team to start against

Yeah going to be tough for DTR, and I'm not sure how good of a rapport he has with our starting trio (Coop, DPJ, Moore) as he was mostly working with strictly backups all camp and preseason, though I think Bell played some with him. I think they are going T off on DTR, especially since our running game isn't much without Chubb.

Something tells me DTR might ball out today. I dunno why.

No chance. With no running game and stefanski liking to throw 50 times a game and never deviating. This could be ugly

I hope whatever that something is that's telling you DTR will ball out today is more accurate than whatever that something is that's telling me it won't turn out that way.

I worry an awful lot about the negative plays

The Ravens D is overrated, maybe?

The Ravens have gone from being a team known for it's defense to a team carried by Lamar. No Humphrey or Williams and Hamilton has been banged up. That secondary seems rather... pedestrian.

We'll see which version of Clowney shows up, though. If it's the one that showed up for us last year, we're golden.

one concern: DTR had some snap issues in the practice sessions of preseason

I'm glad that it's a home game. I'm also worried that it's a home game. The idea of not having to deal with a hostile crowd sounds good. We'll see how that goes.

Really, a rookie to start for the Browns only 4 weeks into the year at @uarterback????????????????

Am I the biggest dupe to believe in anything this organization does over 24 years? don't answer that.

I Mean,
Trainwreck to begin in t minus thirteen or fourteen min, actual time.

I can't believe they will start a rookie against Balt

WERE THEY AWAKE THE LAsT 30 YEARs.

Un, un believeably unbelieveable

Ravens 33 to 6. probably

Evan Washburn is annoying

Hoping Hopkins has a perfect day, we are going to need him to be perfect today.

Defense is going to have to score atleast twice. I have a bad feeling that side of the ball will be exposed too. Battered fan syndrome I hope but we usually don’t have nice things very long

that's a peaceful commercial

Would love to see an actual return game today as well, would benefit DTR a lot.

yes it would

change ugly to a freaking disaster ,

... what did they get in the dobbs trade?
how about the brissett trade? or whatever,
how about when Kace Keenmum was around, no no no
whether it's
JFF
or Brady @uinn,
or Dihone Kizer,
or or take yhour pick, even Baker started within 4 week of his rookie year,
but
hey,
do it against Baltimore,
THIs Is COMIC BOOK sTUPID
only a comic book vilian would be so dumb as to think this formula would work, even after all the times

we've seen it not,

hmmmmm, seems planned to me, by the league or new yor or somebody.

ravens ball to start

Well I know that they wanted to give J.Dobbs a chance to start for a team but this is the exact reason you should have a experienced backup. And apparently our TE1 gotta learn how to start a fire!!!!

cmon D

great day there

how are there empty seats

man what a short kick

What a short kick
