Deshaun Watson is expected to remain with the Cleveland Browns in 2025, but questions are now being raised about whether he will be cleared to play.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry revealed during his end-of-season press conference on Monday that Watson recently experienced a setback in his recovery from a torn Achilles. Berry said the team was just informed of the news on Sunday, so he did not provide further details.
“Yesterday, as we went through our normal player medical process, we did learn that he did have a setback in his Achilles recovery,” Berry told reporters. “We don’t have all the details and everything yet, but it will obviously extend the recovery process for him. It is new information. We just learned it in the past couple hours, so I don’t have everything yet.”
