PESSIMISTIC💔: Deshaun Watson Set to Depart Browns for LA Ahead of Season Finale

Deshaun Watson is set to head back to Los Angeles after spending some time with the Cleveland Browns during their playoff push.

 

Watson is returning to LA to continue his rehab on his shoulder, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. He had surgery on November 21 following the season-ending injury he suffered against the Baltimore Ravens.

 

Watson was on the Browns’ sideline on Thursday, December 28, for the first time since his injury. He had been in Cleveland for a charity event he hosted around Christmas.

 

 

“Watson was cleared to be on the sidelines because he was more than a month out from surgery. He was there with [running back Nick] Chubb, [safety] Grant Delpit and other injured Browns,” Cabot wrote. “He’s headed back to LA to continue rehabbing with his surgeon’s medical team, but will likely rejoin the team for the playoffs.”

 

 

Watson was shown several times on the broadcast supporting his teammates as they locked up a playoff spot. One of those times included a big chest bump with Joe Flacco after he connected with Jerome Ford on a highlight reel 50-yard touchdown pass.

 

 

“I’m always excited to be around my brothers and my teammates and see those guys work and I’m going to be right there with ’em and supporting ’em and just keep pushing forward,” Watson told News 5 Cleveland on December 23. “It’s always tough just to be away from the teammates and just the game of football. You work so hard to be a part of it. But at the same time, injuries happen and you just got to be able to deal with the outcome that comes with it. But I’m very supportive, and the guys got to keep rolling because they’re on fire right now.”
