Deshaun Watson suffers setback in recovery; no timetable on his return

We might not see Watson in all of 2025

After rupturing his Achilles this season against the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Deshaun Watson has suffered a setback in his recovery plan.

Speaking to the media today, general manager Andrew Berry stated that Watson let the team know that his recovery was not going as planned. Berry did not state any timeframe for his return to the field but didn’t confirm that Watson would be ready to play in 2025 either. More surgery is potentially on the table.

Berry also confirmed that the quarterback room would be undergoing a significant overhaul as the Browns struggled to find offensive success with four different starting quarterbacks for the second straight season.

Given his lack of success on the field and now the injuries mounting for Watson, it would not be a shock if he has played his last snap as a member of the Cleveland Browns. It would not be a shock if Watson ever played another NFL again after what has transpired over the last four years.
