Deshaun Watson will definitely be returning to the Cleveland Browns in 2025, but there's now a chance that he won't be able to play a single down next season.  Browns general manager Andrew Berry revealed on Monday that Watson experienced a setback while recovering from an Achilles injury that he originally suffered in mid-October.

#Browns GM Andrew Berry received information recently that Deshaun Watson suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn Achilles. It’s too early to tell how it impacts his rehab and availability for 2025. Berry did say that the QB room will look different in 2025 @fox8news

Berry said it’s “too early to tell” if Watson can play in 2025 after Watson told doctors during the quarterback’s end-of-the-season physical that “something didn’t feel right” in his repaired ankle. Berry said the team is still gathering details on the injury.

ESPN's Jordan Reid has the Cleveland Browns selecting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his latest mock draft, which would pave the way for the team to move on from Deshaun Watson.

Although Deshaun Watson has left much to be desired in head coach Kevin Stefanski's offensive system, he is under contract for two more years. It would be wise to draft a quarterback and sign a veteran, but it may be hard to pass on the best player in the draft altogether.
