Browns Prepare for Season with Watson Return

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who underwent shoulder surgery last season, has been cleared for contact and is set to make his preseason debut in the final game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 24. Head Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Watson will get the majority of reps in joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings but will not play in the preseason game against them. Watson missed most of the past two seasons due to suspension and injury, making his return crucial for the Browns' offensive prospects. New offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey has been brought in to help Watson adapt and excel. Despite Watson's anticipated return, the Browns face additional concerns with injuries to key offensive linemen Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills, whose statuses for Week 1 remain uncertain.
