The Cleveland Browns are no strangers to quarterback issues. And those issues popped up early in Week 8.

Deshaun Watson exited the Browns' Week 8 contest early in the first quarter after taking a hit from the Pittsburgh Steelers' Jaquan Brisker. The defender was flagged for roughing the passer on the play, and Shedeur Sanders entered the game for Cleveland.

It was a helmet-to-helmet hit on the quarterback, which could've prompted a concussion evaluation.

Watson was seen on the sidelines with his helmet after spending time in the blue medical tent.

Here's what to know.

He missed just a few plays before checking back into the game. The team didn't announce the reason behind Watson's visit to the tent.

Watson fumbled on his second play after returning to action.
