Deshaun Watson Out for Season After Surgery

Deshaun Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, successfully underwent surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, which he sustained during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bob Anderson, and Watson is expected to make a full recovery, though he will be out for the remainder of the 2024 season. His tenure with the Browns has been turbulent due to previous injuries and a suspension following accusations of misconduct, affecting his performance and the team’s success. In Watson's absence, Jameis Winston will take over as the starting quarterback, with the Browns considering a quarterback selection in the next draft. The team is also dealing with other injuries, including left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr., which has further complicated their offensive line as they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens without Watson and several other key players.
