Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture, further clouding his future with the team.

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.

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.  Browns general manager Andrew Berry revealed on Monday that Watson experienced a setback while recovering from an Achilles injury that he originally suffered in mid-October.

If there's one team that's definitely going to be in the market to add a quarterback this offseason, it's the Cleveland Browns. Although they do have Deshaun Watson under contract, he suffered a setback while rehabbing his Achilles injury and that setback could cause him to miss some of the 2025 season.

Deshaun Watson’s time with the Browns just keeps getting worse. The Cleveland quarterback, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against the Bengals in Week 7, had a setback in his recovery, general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at a press conference on Monday.

It's fair to say Cleveland Browns fans have been looking forward to the offseason roughly an hour and a half into the regular season when they failed to pick up just one first down in the first half of their Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys before losing 33-17 - that set the tone for the rest of the season.

The Browns put the final touches on a lost season this week. Will it be back to the future for the organization's offense in 2025?
