First half thumps Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson who couldn’t help but to lay down on the ground after being injured while playing against the Cincinnati Bengals at Huntington.
Cleveland Browns has been best described as team at best form this season and unarguably a team to watch .They have one of the most talented squad in the NFL nonetheless they need to work out techniques of keeping their players healthy for such a season.
One of the most dreaded player is quarterback Deshaun Watson. Last year, Watson had to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after fracturing his glenoid bone. Since being acquired by the Browns in 2022, he’s only played in 12 games for Cleveland.
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson experienced a post-surgery setback in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles, general manager Andrew Berry said Monday.
Berry was informed Sunday that Watson’s recovery went off track but he’s unclear whether the timeline for Watson’s return to the field has changed.
“Yesterday as we went through our normal player medical process, we did learn he did have a setback in his Achilles recovery. We don’t have all the details and everything yet, but it will obviously extend the recovery process for him,” Berry said.
The eight-times Ballon d’Or winner has long said he plans to return to live in Barcelona with his wife and three children after he retires from soccer.
Asked whether Watson could require another Achilles operation, Berry wasn’t definitive about the next steps.
“I don’t have all of those details,” Berry said Monday. “He did raise it to the doctors. I’m not trying to be evasive here. It’s all really new.”
The Browns reworked Watson’s contract last month to soften the salary cap hit for 2025 and have said they plan to address their QB position. Injuries have been a constant of Watson’s tenure in Cleveland since he signed a $230 million fully guaranteed contract.
