Deshaun Watson Out for Season, Browns Plan to Keep Him

Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will not play for the remainder of the 2025 season. Despite his injury, the Cleveland Browns intend to keep the veteran QB on their roster for next season. Watson logged limited practices this week, but the team will prioritize his recovery and the development of rookie QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Browns value Watson's veteran presence, and financial considerations also play a role in their decision to retain him.
