Deshaun Watson will definitely be returning to the Cleveland Browns in 2025, but there's now a chance that he won't be able to play a single down next season after suffering a devastating setback while rehabbing from a torn Achilles that he suffered in October.

The Cleveland Browns will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the foreseeable future, including significant time in the 2025 season. The controversial Watson suffered a second rupture of his right Achilles tendon and had surgery to fix the issue.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had surgery after rupturing his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months, a setback that could sideline him for the entire 2025 season.

Looking ahead to future contact situations, the market for pass rushers is also slated to explode with Cowboys star Micah Parsons due for an extension, and wide receiver again is set to be in the spotlight with Ja'Marr Chase up for an extension in Cincinnati.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson underwent surgery Thursday after tearing his Achilles again, and his status for the 2025 season is now in jeopardy, sources tell ESPN.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson underwent surgery on Thursday after tearing his Achilles for the second time since October, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Cleveland Browns said earlier this week that quarterback Deshaun Watson had a setback in his recovery. It turns out it is much worse than that. The veteran quarterback rolled his ankle while rehabbing at his home in Miami and re-ruptured the Achilles. This has required a second surgery and now his entire 2025 season is in jeopardy.

Watson has two seasons remaining on the deal that he signed with the Browns before the 2022 season, which was for five years and fully guaranteed him $230 million. The team will owe him $46 million each of the next two seasons, only adding salt to the wound of just how poorly this experiment has gone.
