Overview

  • Quarterback Deshaun Watson began camp on the active/PUP list after undergoing surgery for a second Achilles rupture in January, casting doubt on his availability for the 2025 season.
  • Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. also started on the active/PUP list as he continues to recover from offseason knee surgery following last year’s finale injury.
  • Wide receiver David Bell was placed on the non-football injury list while he rehabs from a dislocated hip sustained in Week 2 of the 2024 season.
  • The Browns waived wide receiver Jaelen Gill ahead of the first practice as part of early roster adjustments.
  • Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders will compete as potential starters until Watson’s return, shaping Cleveland’s quarterback depth.
