Deshaun Watson

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski said Deshaun Watson (shoulder) will participate in 11-on-11s when padded practices begin.

Watson’s recovery from shoulder surgery continues to go well. After participating in 11-on-11s without pads earlier in the week, Stefanski believes Watson is also ready for padded practices. Given the way teams protect quarterbacks during training camp, Watson shouldn’t be at risk of re-injury in padded practices since defenders aren’t allowed to hit him. He continues to trend in the right direction, which is an encouraging sign so early into camp.
