Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns has already missed several games this season due to injury, and it now appears that he will miss the rest of the season as well.
The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday morning that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.
“Deshaun Watson underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Monday on two injuries sustained on different plays in the first half of Sunday’s 33-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens,” the Browns said in a statement on Wednesday. “Imaging on his left ankle revealed a high-ankle sprain. In addition, postgame, Deshaun notified our medical staff of a new discomfort in his right shoulder that he left after a hit in the first half. An MRI of his right shoulder revealed a displaced fracture of the glenoid.
“Despite playing at a high level and finishing the game, it has been determined that this injury will require immediate surgical repair to avoid structural damage after consulting with Browns Head Physician, James Voos, MD, and industry-leading shoulder specialist, Neal ElAttrache, MD.” Deshaun will be placed on season-ending reserve and is expected to be fully recovered by the start of the 2024 season.”
This news comes after Watson led the Browns to a 33-31 victory over the Ravens in one of his best games as a Brown.
