P.J. Walker will start Week 8 for the Browns in Seattle, per Kevin Stefanski.

Deshaun Watson is OUT.

With six teams on bye last week, Walker still only managed a QB25 fantasy performance. With the status of both Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt still in the air, the Browns offense will be a stay-away.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is back to being considered day-to-day.

That’s what head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters in his Monday video conference following Sunday’s victory over the Colts.

Watson sustained a hit on an incomplete pass with 3:13 left in the first quarter and while he was cleared of concussion protocol, Stefanski elected to hold the quarterback out of the game after seeing it was a hit to his shoulder. Stefanski added Watson is "getting better," but now Watson’s status again appears up in the air for the Week 8 matchup in Seattle.

We have officially listed Deshaun Watson as questionable for Sunday's game.

Watson is either deciding to play through his nagging injury, or it is passing, but he looks like he will start Week 7. In a pretty decent matchup, he should be considered a QB15 or better against the Colts.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson took all the first reps in the open part of practice Friday and had good zip on the ball. Some clips to come. Eyeball test: looks like a go for the Colts game.

If Watson returns for Week 7, we may have to temper our expectations after such a long layoff. The quarterback had two 20+ fantasy performances and one 11-point performance in his three 2023 games.

Deshaun Watson said he’s still day-to-day. Unsure if he’ll practice today and if he’ll play on Sunday.

It sounds as if P.J. Walker will continue as quarterback for Week 7, unless Watson can turn it around in the next few days. Walker is not a recommended start, regardless of league size.

Deshaun Watson has missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury and a report last week indicated that a rotator cuff contusion could keep him out for multiple games. Another report over the weekend said that Watson may return to face the Colts in Week 7, but Kevin Stefanski only said that Watson’s status will be monitored throughout the week.

“Deshaun’s continuing his rehab. He’s day-to-day. We’ll know more as the week progresses,” Stefanski said, via 92.3 The Fan.

There isn't a lot of new information here about Watson and a possible return in Week 7. The story said there are conflicting reports when it comes to the Browns QB. If Watson can't go in Week 7, Walker would likely get the start again.

Earlier in the week, Ian Rapoport said he believes that Walker will get the start in Week 6 and that he would be "surprised" to see Watson take the field. Interesting scenario for the once-good quarterback, as Watson was medically cleared all the way back in Week 4 but decided not to play.
