The severity of the injury means Watson is done for the year.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson replaced Watson under center after Watson was carted off the field.

However, Thompson-Robinson suffered a finger injury, which resulted in emergency quarterback Jameis Winston being put in during the final moments of the 21-14 loss.

Coming into Sunday, Watson had 1,020 passing yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions so far this season.
