Browns vs. Colts injury report: Deshaun Watson active

Following a Week 3 win, the Cleveland Browns were hit with some rough news. Starting quarterback Deshaun Watson sustained a shoulder injury against the Tennessee Titans which led to him sitting out the following two games.

Cleveland went 1-1 in those contests as they were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 but then came out of their bye to upset the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers last weekend. Now, they're preparing to face the Indianapolis Colts and finally received some good news.

After being able to practice without limitations, Watson is expected to start — barring an unforeseen setback with his strained rotator cuff.

Watson is still listed as questionable on the official injury report and has been joined by Kareem Hunt. The veteran running back who was signed after Nick Chubb went down for the year is fighting through a thigh injury and might not be able to suit up. As a precaution, the Browns signed Deon Jackson to back up Jerome Ford.

All that being said, let's look at the full injury list for Week 7.
