So far, Gabriel is 0-2 to start his NFL career, even though he might not be to blame for the Browns&#8217; offensive struggles this season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hm48r7axp\">Even with all the latest situations in the Browns quarterback room, there is still one man who is controlling all the money in that room. With over $90 million still left on Deshaun Watson\u2019s contract, he is still a contender to play for the Browns this season, that is, if he can get healthy from a season-ending Achilles tear that he suffered last season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ejzrni5s0\">Earlier in the week, Adam Schefter gave the update that Watson was \u201ca good month away from being cleared for any football activity.\u201d Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski gave his own update on Watson\u2019s status.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Browns coach Kevin Stefanski today said he had &quot;no real update&quot; on Deshaun Watson&#39;s status. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XXThGF3KNv\">https:\/\/t.co\/XXThGF3KNv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanielOyefusi\/status\/1978477756787859742?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uuseicgcg\">\u201cNo real update\u201d is what Stefanski had to say about Watson\u2019s status. Stefanski also added that Watson was doing great in his rehab, but would not specify when he might open up his practice window.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_umehbnko4\">The update on rehab was a differing update than what was released at the beginning of this year, as Watson had a setback in his rehab. In January of this year, Andrew Berry revealed that Watson suffered a setback in his recovery process, which extended his recovery timeline.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_b6chs6nhh\">While this update was not the most revealing in terms of when Browns fans can expect the quarterback to be back this season, it was possibly more of a positive update than usual on Watson\u2019s status.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_t1eodcvcq\">Can Watson work his way back to actually playing this season? Do Browns fans want Watson to start for their team? While there is no specific answer to the first question, the second question may be easier to answer, considering the reaction of some fans to Watson\u2019s injury last season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6vzj100xu\">With how the quarterback situation has played out in the past couple of seasons, there is no ruling out who will start at quarterback for Cleveland. It is always important to remember that the Browns gave up a lot for Watson in the initial trade, along with committing over $230 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_o4tq1yae6\">Whether Watson starting is the correct decision or not, keep your eye on his recovery status as the season goes along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deshaun Watson has been rehabbing his torn Achilles injury for almost a year.
