BREAKING NEWSCleveland Browns reveal Deshaun Watson has suffered devastating setback in recovery from Achilles injury

Deshaun Watson has suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture and the Cleveland Browns don’t know if or when he´ll be available in 2025.

‘We´ll know more in the next couple days or weeks,’ Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Monday.

Watson has only played in 19 games since signing a fully guaranteed five-year, $230million contract with Cleveland in 2022. The deal has been a collective failure as Watson hasn´t played well when he´s been healthy.

Berry opened his season wrap up news conference with the unexpected update on Watson, who made just seven starts this season as the Browns (3-14) stumbled after making the playoffs a year ago.

Berry said the Browns only learned about Watson´s new medical situation during player exit meetings on Sunday, when the 29-year-old brought it up to team doctors. 

Berry emphasized it´s too early to know what it means to Watson and the team going forward. It´s not yet known if surgery will be necessary.

Watson had his Achilles repaired on October 25. He has been splitting time in Ohio and Florida during his recovery. Watson has not spoken to the media since getting hurt.

‘One thing I have learned from this year, I don´t want to rule out anything with a major injury,’ Berry said.

‘We are still collecting all the information. Then obviously our focus is making sure that he can get as healthy as possible.’

Berry said the team should know more on Watson in the coming days. The team recently restructured the 29-year-old´s contract to get future salary-cap relief and flexibility.

Watson went 1-6 as a starter this season before injuring his Achilles on October 20 against Cincinnati. 

He was among the NFL´s lowest rated QBs at the time and his injury led to the Browns starting three more quarterbacks after playing five in 2023.

Last season, Watson suffered a season-ending injury to his right throwing shoulder and underwent major surgery.

Berry also said he was personally ’embarrᴀssed’ by the team´s regression this season. 

The Browns began what will be another busy offseason on Sunday by firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson.

Berry said he expects defensive star Myles Garrett to stay with the Browns and retire with the team. 

Garrett, who finished with 14 sacks, recently put ownership on notice by saying he didn´t want to waste any more seasons rebuilding.

‘I don´t envision an offseason where we´re moving on from a ton of core players,’ Berry said.
