DeShaun Watson's return from injury is going according to plan.
Watson, after injuring his shoulder and getting surgery during the 2023 season, is already back throwing, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported Sunday.
“By all accounts, Watson is in a great spot in his rehab, and on track to start the season," she writes. "He’ll be in Cleveland for most or all of the offseason program, which begins April 15 with two weeks of conditioning and runs through the mandatory minicamp in June. The Browns won’t rush Watson, but he’s expected to throw during organized team activities, which includes 11-on-11s, and the minicamp.”
There was never a doubt that Watson would be ready to go come Week 1, but that appears to be more true now after pushing through his first throwing session.
The Browns signed quarterback Jameis Winston to backup Watson in training camp and the season ahead.
Winston, like Joe Flacco during the 2023 season, has experience leading an offense as a starter. With Watson's health not completely guaranteed, having Winston is good insurance for Cleveland.
But with Watson getting better each week, Winston may remain an emergency option for the foreseeable future.
