Critical Deshaun Watson Injury Update for Cleveland Browns Following Season-End Surgery.
Deshaun Watson’s challenging season with the Cleveland Browns concluded in November of the previous year due to a season-ending shoulder injury. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback underwent surgery to address the issue, forcing him to be sidelined for an extended period.
Now, at 28 years old, Watson is on a positive trajectory in his recovery journey, aiming to regain full strength before the upcoming season. According to insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com, Watson is poised to take a significant step in his rehabilitation next month. Cabot mentioned, “Watson, who had surgery on Nov. 21 to repair his fractured right shoulder socket, is set to commence throwing in March — possibly in just a couple of weeks. This is an encouraging sign for his potential limited participation in the Browns’ offseason activities starting April 15.”
While there is still no definitive timeline for Watson’s return to action, this development is a noteworthy move in the right direction for the star quarterback. Presently, all indications suggest that the former Clemson standout is likely to be ready for the Browns’ season opener in the 2024-25 campaign.
Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore, expected to be a crucial asset for Watson, expressed excitement about the quarterback’s return. Moore, speaking during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, revealed that he recently spoke to Watson and shared the team’s anticipation for his comeback. Despite the lack of a full opportunity to work together, Moore expressed eagerness for the entire squad to reconnect with Watson once he receives the green light to resume full participation.
As Browns fans hope for Watson’s sustained health in the upcoming season, it’s worth noting that the former first-round pick has played only 12 games in his first two seasons with Cleveland.
