<\/p>\nCleveland Browns\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Deshaun Watson\u00a0is expected to start throwing on Tuesday, a significant step in his rehab process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Watson had\u00a0season-ending surgery in November\u00a0to repair a fractured glenoid bone in his right throwing shoulder. All indications have been that Watson is ahead of schedule in his rehab.<\/p>\n
Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported that Browns tight end David Njoku and Watson\u2019s personal quarterback coach Quincy Avery joined Watson in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis private quarterbacks coach, Quincy Avery, who worked with him throughout 11-game suspension in 2022, and tight end David Njoku, one of his closest friends on team, flew to L.A. on Monday to be part of the carefully prescribed process,\u201d\u00a0Cabot said on Tuesday, March 19.<\/p>\n
Watson shared an update on his progress during the most recent episode of his \u201cQB Unplugged\u201d show.<\/p>\n
\u201cRehab is going good. 16 weeks out \u2014 four months. Should be throwing again real, real soon,\u201d\u00a0Watson said. \u201cFeeling excited about that. Thank god for the speedy process on the healing part. Just staying on track. If we can do that we\u2019ll be just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns won\u2019t rush Watson back. He\u2019s expected to be limited for mandatory minicamp in June.<\/p>\n
Through two seasons with the Browns, Watson has appeared in just 12 games. He\u00a0passed for 1,115 yards, 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions last season. Watson missed time on two separate occasions with shoulder injuries.<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 future is heavily linked to Watson. If the Browns don\u2019t end up restructuring his contract, he\u2019ll account for a\u00a0$63.9 million cap hit next season. That\u2019s part of the $230 million fully guaranteed contract Cleveland handed him. The Browns also gave up three first-round picks to land Watson in 2022. Cleveland\u2019s first pick in April\u2019s draft is No. 54 overall in the second round.<\/p>\n
Browns general manager Andrew Berry feels \u201cgood\u201d about Watson but\u00a0cited health as the most important thing\u00a0for him going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel good about Deshaun,\u201d\u00a0Berry said on January 22. \u201cI think the biggest thing is just him staying on the field, keeping (him) on the field. Each year, we really do try and do as much self-assessment as possible on every area of the operation. So in good years and bad years, (we) will probably always tinker somewhere to some degree with what we think is best. But in terms of just Deshaun in particular, we\u2019re excited. We just want to make sure he\u2019s healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns made the playoffs last season without Watson\u2019s services for the majority of it. Cleveland boasted the top-rated defense in the league and got Pro Bowl seasons on the offensive side of the ball out of tight end\u00a0David Njoku\u00a0and wide receiver\u00a0Amari Cooper, as well as guards\u00a0Joel Bitonio\u00a0and\u00a0Wyatt Teller.<\/p>\n
The Browns didn\u2019t make a significant splash in free agency, mostly adding depth. However, the team brought back key pieces like\u00a0Za\u2019Darius Smith,\u00a0Shelby Harris, and\u00a0Maurice Hurst. Watson feels good about the roster heading into next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI bet everyone on the defense is stoked because I\u2019m turned up about bringing the fellas back and keeping the locker room intact,\u201d Watson said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make some things happen this year, and it is a special defense with those folks coming back, and I\u2019m super excited about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got the pieces (to win a Super Bowl) we just have to put it all together. Once we all get healthy and get the opportunity to be on the field at the same time for a full season, we have the chance to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
