After suffering a season-ending injury to his shoulder a year ago, quarterback Deshaun Watson back into action during Cleveland Browns training camp.
While he has had a stellar camp from the perspective of the media members at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, throwing on the first six days of training camp, the quarterback is taking today’s walkthrough practice to absorb some simulated reps while backups Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Tyler Huntley take the live reps.
And on the 7th day, he rested. Deshaun Watson appears to be getting a day of arm rest today after 6 days of throwing. Winston, DTR and Huntley throwing. pic.twitter.com/9OGxpxsmiy

There is reason to believe that Watson is 95 percent back given his training camp performances, and there is no reason to rush him through the process with a month to go until the season-opener at home against the Dallas Cowboys.
They will host the Green Bay Packers in one week from Saturday for their first game of the preseason. Watson, along with the majority of the starters, would be a surprise to suit up in this game as the Browns typically do not risk their significant players for most of the preseason.
It is likely we see Watson for a series or two this preseason, but probably not much more than that.
