Deshaun Watson’s father passes away two days before season opener

As the Cleveland Browns get set to take on the Dallas Cowboys in two days, quarterback Deshaun Watson has announced tragic news on his Instagram account. Taking to his personal social media page, Watson has announced that his father has passed away.

Already entering a make-or-break year with the Browns, Watson did not need anything else on his shoulders on Sunday. But that is not always how life works, and Watson will have just two days to grieve and play for his father when the Browns take on the Cowboys at Huntington Bank Field.

Best wishes to Deshaun and his family in this time of loss.
