It's been a weird couple of weeks for Deshaun Watson.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback missed two games with a shoulder injury before returning in Week 7 to play 12 snaps and leave after aggravating a shoulder injury. He then missed the Week 8 game.

Watson's will to take the field has been questioned considering his entire $240 million contract is guaranteed, an unprecedented deal in the NFL.

But the Browns have listed Watson as active for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

It seemed like Watson got hurt at the worst time. He struggled in his first two games, throwing for just 389 yards while completing 55.1% of his passes. But in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, he looked like vintage Watson as he threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 27-for-33 passing.

Watson then missed Week 4, had a bye in Week 5 and missed Week 6 before returning for his short stint in Week 7.

The quarterback argued that critics were attempting to create "controversy and commotion" by questioning whether he really wanted to play.
