The Cleveland Browns somehow went 11-6 and made the playoffs last season despite using five different quarterbacks, which is something they hope to not have to do again in 2024.
The path to avoiding that quarterback turnstile again is by making sure star QB Deshaun Watson is healthy and ready to go after recovering from the shoulder surgery that ended his 2023 season.
A new report by Jeff Schudel of The News-Herald detailed Watson’s progress, to which the QB stated, “The situation is good. We’re in a great spot, right where we need to be. We have plenty of time to ramp up the throwing sessions and things like that, but everything is going pretty smooth.”
Watson upbeat about his rehab progress from shoulder surgery
It was clear throughout Watson’s first two seasons in Cleveland that he was not only knocking off some rust from his lengthy suspension, but eventually began nursing a shoulder injury that had him looking like a shell of the player who took over the league during his short time in Houston.
Watson did not go into specifics about how often he is throwing or at what distance, but Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters at the league meetings in Orlando that Watson could be on the field throwing to receivers at OTAs in May.
That’s probably the most encouraging update fans have gotten so far.
Watson shouldn’t push it, but it would benefit the team greatly if he was ready for OTAs and had time to get on the same page with his offense and his receivers, particularly newly-acquired WR Jerry Jeudy.
