Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a shoulder injury last season that ultimately required season-ending surgery. He’s been slowly working his way back to the field since then, and it sounds like the team is quite happy wit what they’ve seen from him.
During a recent press conference, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski gave a pretty significant update on Deshaun Watson, saying that he quarterback “looked like himself” during practice, even if he isn’t 100 percent cleared to play just yet.
“He looked like himself to me,” Stefanski said according to Pro Football Talk. “I’ve been able to watch him the last couple of weeks in Phase Two, so I’ve seen him throw. He’s making great progress. We will continue to just follow the medical team on this, but he looked like himself.”
Obviously, this update led to a lot of reactions on social media.
So he is injured and out for the season.

There are almost zero accurate reports that come from OTA's, early preseason

No one is believing that until they see him play. BTW what exactly is "looks like himself?"
Are we talking the inconsistent & oft injured guy in Cleveland or the dude from like a decade ago, or it at least seems like 10 years… it gets confusing with all of the sex accusations!— Patrick (@PGoodieTX) May 22, 2024
I assume that means he has taken a seat somewhere and is watching players play.

He’s never seen him good so how can he even tell??

Worst contract in the history of sports.

Watson has not had the best luck with injuries ever since he joined the Cleveland Browns. Due to a combination of injuries and a suspension during his first season with the team, Watson has not played in more than six games in either of his two seasons with the Browns. We’ll have to see if that changes this year.
