Overview

• After four games on reserve/PUP, Deshaun Watson is eligible to begin the NFL’s 21-day practice period, but Mary Kay Cabot reports the team does not plan to start it this week.
• Cabot has indicated Watson could be available sometime in October if his recovery continues on track.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed that Joe Flacco will remain the starting quarterback despite recent offensive struggles.
• Through four games, Flacco has completed 93 of 160 passes for 815 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions.
• Owner Jimmy Haslam has called the 2022 Watson trade a “big swing-and-miss,” and Watson still has two years left on his fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract.
