Another week, another starting quarterback lost for the season. The Browns announced Deshaun Watson will have season-ending shoulder surgery after the signal-caller suffered the injury during their Week 10 comeback win over the Ravens. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the Week 11 starter for Cleveland as they take on the Steelers in another AFC North showdown.
In other news, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins once again on a short week when they visit Baltimore on "Thursday Night Football."
Here's a look at the Wednesday's injury report as we begin to find out who might be active for Week 11, and who might be out.
Bengals at Ravens (-3.5)
- Bengals: WR Tee Higgins (hamstring), DE Sam Hubbard (ankle), WR Andrei Iosivas (knee) OUT; WR Charlie Jones (thumb) QUESTIONABLE
- Ravens: LB Trenton Simpson (concussion), T Ronnie Stanley (knee) OUT; CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) DOUBTFUL; WR Devin Duvernay (hamstring), G John Simpson (illness/shoulder), OLB Kyle Van Noy (groin), S Daryl Worley (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
The Bengals' biggest offensive blow is that they will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins, who did not practice all week. Expect more Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin to make up for Higgins' absence. No Hubbard for Cincinnati is also a huge loss, so Cam Sample is expected to start.
The oft-injured Stanley will miss another game for Baltimore, so Patrick Mekari is expected to start at left tackle. Humphrey missed practice all week, so it's unlikely he plays. Duvernay's injury was a late addition Tuesday and he did not practice Wednesday.

Tight end Pat Freiermuth is designated to return from IR and is currently in a 21-day practice window.
The Browns will be without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, something that's already happened multiple times this season.
