However, his comeback was short-lived as he exited Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter.
Watson suffered a strained rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder during the game against Tennessee on September 24th.
This injury forced him to sit out the subsequent game against Baltimore and the following match against San Francisco on October 15th.
Coach Stefanski shed little light on Watson’s condition on Monday during a press conference.
He did not provide specific information regarding any additional medical tests, mentioning that the team was still awaiting results for “a bunch of guys.”
Speculation has arisen regarding whether the Browns would consider placing Watson on injured reserve, granting him four weeks to heal.
Despite the ambiguity, Stefanski emphasized that Watson is making progress and displaying his trademark competitive spirit.
“Listen, he’s getting better,” Stefanski said. “He’s a competitive kid. He is working hard.”
Stefanski reaffirmed the team’s stance that Watson’s injury is being treated on a “day-to-day” basis.
Deshaun Watson’s injury history has resulted in limited playing time for the Cleveland Browns, having made only nine starts in two seasons since signing a massive $230 million contract.
