Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson played just six games last year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery. The injury contributed to Cleveland’s quarterback inconsistencies during a year with seven starting quarterback changes and four starters.

Watson, P.J. Walker Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Joe Flacco all lined up as QB1 for the team at some point and each recorded at least one win. Watson is expected to be back for the 2024 season and has a lot to prove, as he’s played just six games in his first two seasons with the team and has not impressed much in those 12 total starts.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry gave an update on Watson’s recovery, crediting his quarterback for his dedication to getting ready for the season. 

“First and foremost, Deshaun has really worked his tail off during the rehabilitation process over the last several months,” Berry said, via NFL.com. “He’s really actually ahead of schedule. He’s really chomping at the bit to take the governor off so to speak, but really he’s had a really nice spring. He’s thrown the ball well. Did a really nice job during our 7-on-7 and team periods during this veteran minicamp. So, we’re excited as he gets into training camp and gets the pads on.”
