Jameis Winston took the field as the backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, leading a successful touchdown drive in his only series against the Cincinnati Bengals. This performance may earn him the starting role in the upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens on October 27 due to a season-ending Achilles tendon injury suffered by Deshaun Watson. Despite the injury drawing cheers from some fans, Winston spoke out against the lack of support for Watson and emphasized the need to uplift him during this challenging time.
Winston, a former Hueytown High School standout, completed 5-of-11 passes for 67 yards with one touchdown during his time on the field. His performance helped the Browns score a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski mentioned that Winston’s role in the next game would depend on the team’s injury situation.
Throughout Week 7 of the NFL season, several other Alabama players made their mark on the field for various teams. Players like Za’Darius Smith, Tytus Howard, and George Pickens had notable contributions during their respective games. The week saw mixed results for Alabama players, with some standing out in their performances while others faced challenges such as injuries and inactive designations.
