Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s suspension officially began today. Watson’s suspension went into effect on Aug. 30, when teams cut down rosters to 53 players. On Nov. 28, Watson will be available to be reinstated, then can play his first game in week 13 in Houston, a game that everyone will have eyes on.

As long as Watson takes part in the plan the league has set up for him, including a form of counseling, he will be back on the field on time. For those first 11 games, it will be Jacoby Brissett under center for the Browns. The off week will put it as a week 13 return for Watson.

While suspended, Watson will have to work away from the team. It will be Oct. 10 before the Browns quarterback will be back in Berea.
