Browns: 4 takeaways from Deshaun Watson’s media availability
The Cleveland Browns host the Seattle Seahawks in two days and will do so without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Deciding to use this week as an opportunity to rehabilitate his dislocated shoulder, the Browns announced that P.J. It was the second time in three weeks that Walker appeared in the first quarter against the Indianapolis Colts.
Acknowledging the outcry, including from fans and local media, Watson addressed the injury, updated his recovery timetable and more.
Media access was provided to the locker room Thursday for discussions.
There’s still no time for him to recover, but it’s clear Watson wants to get back on the field when he feels he can be an asset again for the 4-2 Browns.
Here, we take a look at four of the biggest benefits of media availability, as Cleveland’s starting quarterback wasn’t afraid to ask questions.
Watson’s timeline remains unclear.
I’m not sure if playing on Sunday will hinder his recovery.
Even though the trial is four weeks old, neither the Browns nor Watson know what the schedule will look like. Watson said everyone will take it day by day until they feel better about where they are.
“I think the 4-6 rep range is the typical timeline for a normal rotator cuff. I think the reason I say that is because the research shows that.
Doctors usually talk about pitchers and baseball players and all the research we’ve done. But it could be longer.
I do not know We just don’t know.
The staff, the medical staff, the coaching staff, until I felt like I could go out and be the quarterback that people saw against Tennessee.
And then we have to take it day by day.”
This is a prediction based on the Browns’ schedule, but they have a week left before they play a series of games against their AFC North rivals. The expected outcome is that he will play against the Arizona Cardinals next week and be as close to full health as possible before then.
He wants to play.
Watson drew criticism from the national public, particularly from former Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, who suggested he had no motivation to get back on the field.
With all his money guaranteed, the headlines are flying off the walls. The current defense attorney strongly objected.
“Why don’t I want to play?” I worked hard for two years to get the game back.
Why don’t I want to play?
I’ve been doing this since I was six years old.
Why don’t I want to play?
I see the same thing.
See all stories This, this, the third.
I mean, it’s all just to stir up controversy and fear.
I am very good.
I’m happy.
I’m not happy with the injury, but I’m in a good space mentally.
Spiritually, I’m in a great space. Physically, everything except your shoulders is in one big space. So we’re working hard to get that back.
So why don’t you want to play?
It’s for no other reason, so yeah, I get that too.
Look at the contract situation and everything. Yeah, just getting people talking and creating stories.
He was even asked specifically about the differences with the Browns, and Watson pushed back again. Watson seems as upset about the injury as the rest of the fans.
It is not related to surgery
- Not.
When asked about the surgery or whether he would recommend it, Watson gave a short two-word answer.
Surgery is not possible as the Browns pitcher appears to be injured. Watson noted that no one is 100 percent in the NFL in November, December and January, so he will struggle to get into a position where he feels like he can be an asset to the team again like he did against Titans.
. .
There is no internal hiatus in the rehab or rebuilding process between Watson and the Browns.
Despite the outcry and public perception of the injury from fans and the national public, the defender said he and the team are on the same page.
What about outside noise?
The people in the building don’t seem to care.
“We all stick together and there’s no negative vibes or negative energy in this team or in this locker room or anything.
We are 4-2.
That’s the energy of the locker room, the team, the coaching staff and the front office.
We are in a great space.
We enjoy the victory.
As long as you get the W, it doesn’t matter how you get it. And we continue. So it’s always the next person and we don’t pay attention to all that, to the external sounds.
PR-wise, could the Browns have done better?
Undoubtedly.
But this administration has kept things close to the vest, and it looks like it will continue to do so.
