Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is making progress in his recovery from major shoulder surgery, following a conservative plan to ensure he is fully healed before returning to the field. Despite playing through a painful injury last season, Watson is now pain-free and throwing at full speed.
The 28-year-old quarterback suffered a fracture to the glenoid bone in his throwing shoulder, limiting him to just six games in his second season with the Browns. However, Watson’s rehab has gone according to schedule with no setbacks, allowing him to throw with fluid motion and good velocity.
While Watson is optimistic about his recovery, he remains cautious about rushing back too soon. He has not set a timetable for his return to full strength and is leaving decisions about his participation in offseason activities to the team’s medical staff and coaches.
Watson reported to the team’s training facility for the start of the voluntary offseason program and is following the advice of renowned sports orthopedist Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed his surgery. ElAttrache has advised Watson to take it slow and not push himself too hard during the recovery process.
Despite the challenges he faced last season, Watson remains focused on getting back to full health and preparing for the upcoming season. With his determination and commitment to his recovery plan, Browns fans can look forward to seeing Watson back on the field at full strength in the near future.
