Overview

• General manager Andrew Berry said recent medical tests uncovered a new setback in Watson's Achilles rehabilitation.
• Sports-medicine analyst Dr. Deepak Chona warned that rushing Watson back could limit his throwing power and mobility and likely push any return to midseason.
• Co-owner Jimmy Haslam acknowledged that the Browns' 2022 trade for Watson failed to secure the franchise quarterback they expected.
• With Watson sidelined, the Browns will enter training camp with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel competing for the starting role.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski plans to allow the younger quarterbacks to develop at their own pace rather than rushing them into action.
