Cleveland browns recieved unexpected bad news

On Wednesday, Deshaun Watson, the quarterback, spoke for the first time since missing a Week 4 loss to the Ravens, providing much-needed clarification on the ongoing mystery surrounding his shoulder.

However, Browns supporters won’t be overly pleased with the primary conclusion.
Watson’s availability for the Browns’ upcoming Sunday trip to Indianapolis to play the Colts is still unknown.
Watson might play this weekend, as he has every week since Week 4, but it will be contingent on his condition.

Watson, who skipped practice on Wednesday, responded, “I think so, it just depends on the process of the medical stuff and the treatment and rehab that we’re doing day to day.”.
That means it’s definitely up in the air.

Watson is “making progress,” but he is still day-to-day, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski informed reporters on Wednesday.

Now for the updated information: Watson stated that his shoulder injury is a rotator cuff problem, which is a more serious condition than the simple contusion that most people thought was the issue after Cleveland’s victory over the Titans in Week 3.
Unsurprisingly, this contributes to the explanation of Watson’s extended absence.

“I’m just trying to get as comfortable as I possibly can to go out there and perform at the level I know I can,” Watson told reporters on Wednesday.
“This is my first time dealing with a rotator cuff.”.
“We just have to keep going day by day if I’m unable to.
If I’m unable to perform certain tasks that would make us handicapped in specific circumstances, I won’t jeopardize the team. I haven’t been able to take the field because of that.
“.”.

After being told that Watson would be sidelined for two games (plus a bye week) due to a contusion, Browns supporters are probably relieved to hear Watson’s explanation, at the very least.
QBs have historically experienced chronic problems due to rotator cuff issues.
In 2017 and early 2019, Cam Newton had two shoulder surgeries (one for a partially torn rotator cuff, the other an arthroscopic procedure), both of which came before he left Carolina.
And in 2005, Drew Brees ended his career in San Diego after suffering a serious shoulder injury that included damage to his rotator cuff.
Later, Brees regretted that he was unable to play past his age-41 season due to the injury.

Considering the importance of a quarterback’s throwing shoulder, such an injury is also difficult to play through.

Due to his illness, Cleveland has let Watson play it safe, using veteran P and rookie backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 4.

J. Walker in a victory over the 49ers, who were undefeated, in Week 6. Walker will start this Sunday in Watson’s absence, according to Stefanski’s Wednesday statement.

With their excellent defense, the Browns were able to upset San Francisco last weekend, but as each week goes by, their endurance will be put to the test.

In Week 7, we’ll find out if Watson can play or if Walker starts in place of Watson, this time against the Colts, who have also been forced to rely on their backup quarterback after rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.
