Latest News about Deshaun Watson
The Cleveland Browns opened a 21-day practice window for Watson, who returned to the practice field for the first time in 2026. While sources indicate it is unlikely he will start a game this season, he is expected to use practice time to regain football shape and reacclimate himself, with the team anticipating he remains on the 2026 roster.
Deshaun Watson spoke publicly about his health and future with the Cleveland Browns, expressing uncertainty about his football prospects but belief he would receive another opportunity to play for the team that traded three first-round picks for him in 2022. He has not taken the field since October 2024 due to a torn Achilles tendon and missed the entire 2025 season recovering from a second tear of the same tendon.
