Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending injury to his throwing shoulder last season that he has been recovering from ever since. And while an injury to the throwing arm of a quarterback is always a concern, it sounds like Watson’s recovery is actually going better than expected.
During a recent press conference, Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry announced that Deshaun Watson was “really actually ahead of schedule” in terms of rehabbing his injury as he praised him for how much work he has done throughout the 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.”
Obviously, this announcement led to a lot of reactions on social media.
He might have a great year if he can string together the first couple games!

AB ruining my plan to sandbag his public throwing so I can’t play coy about DW4 being better than ever until Week 1 #DawgPound https://t.co/yWEQGfSGLn

We’ll have to see how Watson is able to bounce back from his injury this season.
