Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson ruptures Achilles, again

Deshaun Watson Browns (Organization) Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the foreseeable future, including significant time in the 2025 season. The controversial Watson suffered a second rupture of his right Achilles tendon and had surgery to fix the issue.

The Browns gave Watson a massive contract — $230 million — when acquired from the Houston Texans. It is generally regarded as the worst pact in NFL history given the returns on the field.

Watson has gone 9-10 in three seasons, throwing 19 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

The Browns pick second overall in the 2025 draft and Watson’s injury should play a large role in whether they draft a quarterback.
