Browns Injury Report: Deshaun Watson returns, Joel Bitonio taking it easy on knee Thursday

The Browns had all of their players at practice on Thursday except for Joel Bitonio. Yes, this means Deshaun Watson returned.

After they had a laundry list of players missing from practice on Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns got all but one player back on the field on Thursday as they prepare for the Indianapolis Colts. While left guard Joel Bitonio missed practice after he was limited the day before, everybody else was back. This includes quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Sitting at 3-2 on the season, the Browns have the opportunity to stack wins before they face back-to-back AFC opponents in Weeks 10 and 11. This week, they face off with the 3-3 Colts, who will be without their starting quarterback Anthony Richardson the rest of the season.

To stack these games, however, the Browns need much more out of their quarterback play. This starts with getting Watson back on the field, and Thursday was a massive step toward that development.

Here is the full injury report as we are now just two days away from the Browns’ showdown with the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
