Deshaun Watson suffers injury setback as Browns future gets murkier

Deshaun Watson’s time with the Browns just keeps getting worse.

The Cleveland quarterback, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against the Bengals in Week 7, had a setback in his recovery, general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at a press conference on Monday.

“We don’t have all the details and everything yet, but it will obviously extend the recovery process for him,” Berry said, adding it’s “too early to tell” if it will impact Watson’s availability for the 2025 season.

Watson alerted the Browns to the issue on Sunday and has yet to publicly address it.

The Pro Bowl signal-caller signed a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with the Browns in March 2022.

It came after Watson requested a trade out of Houston in January 2021.
