General manager Andrew Berry seems to only appear lately to deliver bad news to Cleveland Browns fans. Whether that’s providing a midseason update on the team to apologize emptily about how poorly they’ve performed, or providing an end of year update on the team to do the exact same thing, Berry has nothing but negativity to convey.<\/p>\n

That trend didn’t change in his end of season press conference with reporters, where he delivered an injury update on Deshaun Watson that might actually cause a huge shift in how the Browns approach the NFL Draft and their second overall pick.<\/p>\n

Deshaun Watson update is a huge gamechanger for Browns draft strategy<\/h2>\n

According to Berry, Watson suffered a setback in his rehabilitation process after getting an Achilles tendon surgery done, which has set him back in his timetable for a return to football action. It was always anticipated that, given when he suffered his injury, he wouldn’t be ready to start again with the team Week 1 in 2025. Now, that feels like a guarantee.<\/p>\n

Deshaun Watson had a setback in his recovery from his torn Achilles tendon rehab, Browns GM Andrew Berry said. This will delay his recovery, per Berry. Still too early to say on a return timetable.<\/p>\n
