Meeting with the media for the first time this offseason, Browns general manager Andrew Berry released a statement regarding quarterback Deshaun Watson as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery.
ย ย initiation When quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with a fractured glenoid in his throwing shoulder in Week 10, it looked like the injuries would be too much to overcome, and this was a great opportunity for them to win. Eventually, the struggling Browns found a way to finish 11-6 and earn a playoff spot.
After four straight losses and missing the wild card, the Browns are in the middle of the regular season and all eyes will be on Watson and his recovery as he works his way back to Cleveland this spring. According to Browns vice president of football operations and general manager Andrew Berry, the 28-year-old QB is still ahead of the curve in his recovery.
ย ย Desion is doing well,ย Berry said in a press conference that the season is over. “He’s doing the best he can with his rehab. He’s doing well. We’re hoping to get him back at least sooner than expected.“ “It’s still early so I’m hesitant to say, but we’re very happy with the progress so far and we’re looking forward to getting it back in the spring.
ย ย Since trading three first-round picks and a third- and fourth-round pick for Watson in March 2022, the former Texans point guard has appeared in just 12 games for the Browns, with different products. Watson’s old form has been seen in six matches this season. He had a 61.4 completion percentage, 1,115 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions.
Entering the third year of the five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract Cleveland gave Watson when they acquired him without playing a full season until 2020, there’s still plenty left to prove. .
ย ย We all love him in the field. Berry agreed. I think it’s safe to say it’s in itself. I love him so much, I’m happy with his progress on and off the field in our organization, and I look forward to seeing him again every year. “We think he’s going to have a big year, and we’re going to trust him to be our starting quarterback.“
ย ย Browns management may not waver in their faith in Watson, but many fans can’t wait to see him reach his potential. 2024 could be a big season for the Browns QB as Cleveland could be dealing with what the Royals lost in this trade. Not that they don’t care now..
