Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Land On Injured Reserve

Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Land On Injured Reserve

one year ago

According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) isn't facing a "long-term absence." He also isn't anticipated to land on the injured reserve list. Instead, the signal-caller is considered week-to-week, with Schefter adding that the team will "continue to be cautious." Watson is battling a rotator cuff strain, and although he's already been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with Seattle, it's anyone's guess if he'll be available for Week 9 against Arizona. At any rate, most managers have lost confidence in Watson, considering he's thrown for 683 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing just 61.7% of his throws during the 2023-24 campaign. As a result, he likely won't be featured in many fantasy lineups once he returns, although that could change if he turns things around.
