According to a recent rumor, Deshaun Watson might miss a few more games. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns is expected to miss a second consecutive game due to a shoulder injury. He has now been identified as having a right rotator cuff contusion.
The injury, according to Cabot, is “a deep contusion that presents or functions more like a strain.” The quarterback won’t be allowed to play again until he can throw without experiencing any pain, she adds.

On September 24, Watson was hurt while playing against the Tennessee Titans. He was given the all-clear on October 3 by the team physicians since his shoulder had not sustained any structural damage, but he must recover and only engage in light throwing drills.
According to reports, the 28-year-old experienced some light throwing this week.
Watson was previously expected to swiftly return to the lineup because it was initially believed that the injury was just a bone bruise. But when he felt severe pain and weakness during a pregame warmup before the Browns’ game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, the outlook was altered.
