Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture, further clouding his future with the team.

The Browns head into this offseason with a few positional needs, but one of the biggest ones is at quarterback. With the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Cleveland is in a great position to get one of the top signal-callers.

BEREA, Ohio — Deshaun Watson has had a setback in his recovery from ruptured Achilles surgery that will delay his return, Browns GM Andrew Berry revealed Monday. Berry said it’s too early to determine if Watson will need another surgery. The first procedure took place Oct. 25 with Dr. Bob Anderson in North Carolina.
