AFC North news: Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson to have season ending shoulder surgery
The Browns and Ravens are two of the top teams in the AFC playoff hunt, but Cleveland’s postseason fate could rest in the hands of a rookie quarterback or P.J. Walker.
According to Tom Pelissero, Deshaun Watson will have season-ending shoulder surgery.
#Browns QB Deshaun Watson wanted to be shot up and play through the injuries, and he sought multiple medical opinions, per sources. But doctors were clear: if he got hit again in the same spot, the shoulder could fall apart. Now surgery awaits and his 2023 season is over. pic.twitter.com/xULu52ZjVg
