Deshaun Watson Faces Arm Soreness Ahead of Preseason Debut

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is experiencing 'general arm soreness,' which may affect his participation in the upcoming preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has opted to hold Watson back from throwing during practice, expressing that he is not overly concerned. Watson, who had surgery on his throwing shoulder last November, has not played a game in nine months and was held out of the first two preseason games. Despite having participated in nearly all training camp drills, Watson's readiness for the game remains uncertain, especially given the injuries affecting the offensive line. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston has taken over first-team reps during Watson's absence. The Browns are cautious in their approach, weighing the decision to protect Watson's health against the need for him to regain game readiness.
