Last week, quarterback Deshaun Watson made his long-awaited return to the NFL.
In a truly bizarre game, his Cleveland Browns side beat his former side. the Houston Texans. 27-14.
The Browns offense did not play very well during this game, with the majority of the points they scored being credited to their defense.
Cleveland will need a better offensive performance this weekend when they face their divisional rivals in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
But, Watson may be without one of his key offensive weapons for the game.
Cleveland Browns WR Amari Cooper did not practice today due to a hip injury and is now questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals.

Amari Cooper Out?
It was confirmed today that Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper had suffered a hip injury and did not practice.
His injury means that his status is questionable for the game on Sunday.
At the moment, we do not know the full extent of this injury, and we might not officially know if Cooper will or will not play against the Bengals until Sunday morning.
If Cooper cannot play this weekend, the Browns will be losing a key player for their offense.
This season, Cooper has 832 receiving yards and has scored seven touchdowns.
When this is compared with the rest of the Browns offense, we can see that Cooper has both the most receiving yards and the most touchdowns scored.
Cooper’s seven touchdowns from this season are more than triple the two touchdowns scored by David Njoku.
If Cooper is not playing this week, the struggling Browns offense will face an uphill challenge to keep up with Burrow and the Bengals offense.
