Deshaun Watson May Miss Entire 2025 Season

The Cleveland Browns have placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as training camp begins, following his second Achilles tendon surgery in January. Watson, who has a 9-10 record since joining the Browns in 2023, may miss the entire 2025 season, and his future with the team is uncertain. The Browns are preparing for a quarterback competition among Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, all acquired or signed this offseason. Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. is also on the PUP list due to a knee injury, while wide receiver David Bell was placed on the non-football injury list. Owner Jimmy Haslam admitted the Watson trade was a 'big swing and miss,' and fans are watching closely ahead of the Browns' season opener against the Bengals. Watson continues to rehab and participate in meetings but is not expected to return soon.
