Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a major injury last season that resulted in season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder. Any injury to the throwing arm of a quarterback is concerning, so the Browns have been careful with Watson as he recovers from his injury. But it sounds like he’s actually recovering better than expected.
During a recent press conference, Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry announced that Deshaun Watson was “really ahead of schedule” when it came to his rehabilitation process.
“First and foremost, Deshaun has really worked his tail off during the rehabilitation process over the last several months,” Berry said according to NFL.com. “He’s really actually ahead of schedule. He’s really champing 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.
“He’s making excellent progress. Honestly if you didn’t know he got hurt last year, you really wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. We’re very excited once camp starts.”
Needless to say, this is a great announcement for Browns fans hoping to see him at full health to start camp and the season.
