Deshaun Watson Shoulder Nearing 100%, On Track For Training Camp

Update (6/18/24) Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said quarterback Deshaun Watson is ahead of schedule in his rehab from last November's season-ending shoulder surgery. His statements match our analysis that Watson will be ready for training camp with no restrictions.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is on track to recover fully from right shoulder surgery that ended his 2023 season after only playing in 6 games.

Watson suffered a glenoid fracture to the back of his right throwing shoulder. The surgery was unavoidable as a glenoid fracture cannot be played through effectively as a quarterback without risking further damage. 

Our panel of Pro Docs fully expect Watson to be ready not only for Week 1 but be 100% by training camp.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said he expects quarterback Deshaun Watson to be ready for the season opener.

"We feel really good about it," Berry said. “I'm not going to make any predictions, just because you just never know. But that's certainly our expectation.”
