Deshaun Watson Injury: Placed on PUP list

Watson (Achilles) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Browns on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As expected, Watson will officially open training camp on the sidelines as he recovers from a second right Achilles procedure that he underwent in January. The quarterback is projected to miss the beginning of the 2025 campaign, and once healthy, it seems unlikely that the 29-year-old will regain the starting role in Cleveland. The Browns will enter camp with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders as healthy options at QB.
