Cleveland  browns clarifies injury situation to…

Deshaun Watson at last speaks out about his ongoing injury
Deshaun Watson, the quarterback, has shared his account of an enigmatic shoulder injury.

Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, at last disclosed the circumstances surrounding his shoulder injury. The $230 million quarterback has experienced numerous injuries during his 2023 campaign. Watson did not play against the Baltimore Ravens in week four, and he did not play against the San Francisco 49ers after Cleveland had a bye week.

The Browns were incredibly private with the media at the time. According to NFL insiders, Watson was cleared to play. Still, he remained a spectator for a while. Furthermore, Watson was not made available for post-practice interviews by Cleveland.

The story took an even more bizarre turn last Sunday. Watson was back in the starting lineup following a three-week absence from the game. The seasoned quarterback had to leave the game, though, due to yet another injury. Some wondered at the time if it was a concussion. Cleveland verified that it was a recurrence of a shoulder issue rather than a concussion.

The injury flare-up that Watson was experiencing led the Browns to confirm this week that Watson would miss Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Cleveland and Watson have come under fire from supporters and media commentators; some former players have questioned whether Watson wants to play.

Watson finally broke his media silence and provided his perspective. Watson said, “Why wouldn’t I want to play? I’ve worked my ass off for two years to get back to playing, so why wouldn’t I want to play?”

 

Watson confirmed he played through the pain barrier last week. “I wouldn’t sit here and say I felt perfect on Friday. I was pushing through it because I’m a competitor. I felt like I had enough.” Watson continued, saying, “At the same time, I wasn’t 100 per cent last week. So I try, like I said before, to go through the game, see if I can make the throws, and make the plays. I thought I was ready; wasn’t ready.”

 

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he took Watson out of the game to protect the quarterback. One thing is for sure: this ongoing confusion will not go away. The Browns are 4-2 and are playing very well. But all the attention is fixed on a player who has not played a full game since September 24th. It could distract the team, and Watson’s clarification may fuel the fire.
