Browns QB Deshaun Watson makes home debut vs. Ravens
The Cleveland Browns play rival Baltimore at 4:30 p.m. Saturday with their playoff hopes barely above nonexistent.
The Browns’ hopes rest on the play of quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is making his home debut after beginning his suspension-delayed season with two road games.
The Ravens, tied atop the AFC North with the Cincinnati Bengals at 9-4, will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is recovering from a knee injury he suffered Dec. 4 in a win over the Denver Broncos. He did not play in the Ravens’ win at Pittsburgh last Sunday.
Instead, backup Tyler Huntley, who only recently exited concussion protocols, will be under center for the Ravens against the Browns (5-8).
