Deshaun Watson's father dies two days before the start of the season

As the Cleveland Browns prepare to play the Dallas Cowboys in two days, quarterback Deshaun Watson announced tragic news on his Instagram account. On his personal social media page, Watson announced that his father died.

Watson had already had a pivotal year with the Browns and didn't need anything more on his shoulders Sunday. But life doesn't always work out that way, and Watson will have just two days to grieve and play for his father when the Browns face the Cowboys at Huntington Bank Field.

We wish Deshaun and his family all the best during this time of loss.
