Overview

• ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Watson is a good month away from being cleared for any football activity and said there has been no internal conversation about when or if he will play.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski offered no real update on opening a practice window, noting Watson is doing a great job rehabbing and staying engaged in meetings.
• Watson has recently progressed by coming out of a walking boot and beginning to throw again.
• Once cleared to practice, NFL rules give the Browns a three-week window to add him to the active roster.
• His uncertain timeline continues to influence Cleveland's quarterback plan after opening with Joe Flacco, shifting to rookie Dillon Gabriel, and trading Flacco to the Bengals as the offense struggles to score.
