Aside from battling the Houston Texans and some fans who are likely to taunt him, Deshaun Watson may have another not-so-visible opponent in his first NFL regular-season game in nearly two years.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, left, talks to teammates during an NFL football practice at the team's training facility Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, in Berea, Ohio. – Watson will make his long-awaited debut Sunday for the Cleveland Browns after serving an 11-game league suspension for alleged sexual misconduct, and it's not clear how he'll play after the long layoff.
“We will have to see Sunday, honestly," Watson said this week in his first comments since August. “It might take time or it might not take time.”His readiness is a legitimate concern, heightened by his rough outing in Cleveland's exhibition opener in August. But Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney watched his teammate ramp up his activity over the past few weeks, and is confident Watson will look like himself.
That may not happen right away, and Stefanski said there's only one way for Watson to combat any potential rust: “You’ve just got to trust in your preparation, trust in what you do in the meeting room, individual period, all the practice reps you get.” There's also the contact factor. Watson hasn't been hit, but Stefanski downplayed the notion his quarterback might not be ready for it.
