BEREA, Ohio — Deshaun Watson has had a setback in his recovery from ruptured Achilles surgery that will delay his return, Browns GM Andrew Berry revealed Monday. Berry said it’s too early to determine if Watson will need another surgery. The first procedure took place Oct. 25 with Dr. Bob Anderson in North Carolina.

Berry said it’s “too early to tell” if Watson can play in 2025 after Watson told doctors during the quarterback’s end-of-the-season physical that “something didn’t feel right” in his repaired ankle. Berry said the team is still gathering details on the injury.

The Browns learned about Watson’s new medical situation during player exit meetings on Sunday, and said it’s too early to know what it means going forward.
