When will Deshaun Watson return and be back with Browns?
One of the major offseason storylines in the NFL centered around how long the suspension for Deshaun Watson would last. The NFL and the NFLPA reached a settlement back on August 18 for Watson to serve an 11-game suspension without pay. As for when will Deshaun Watson return and be back on the football field for the Browns, he is set to make his debut for the franchise on December 4. The Week 13 game will take place in Houston, the place Watson called home for five years, as the Browns will square off against the Texans.
Here is the timetable for Watson’s return to the field with the stretch of games he is poised to play in, barring injury.
- Week 13: Sunday, December 4 Browns vs. Texans
- Week 14: Sunday, December 11 Browns vs. Bengals
- Week 15: Sunday, December 18 Ravens vs. Browns
- Week 16: Saturday, December 24 Saints vs. Browns
- Week 17: Sunday, January 1 Browns vs. Commanders
- Week 18: Sunday, January 8 Browns vs. Steelers
The Browns’ bye week comes in Week 9 of this season and is sandwiched between games against the Bengals and at the Dolphins. Jacoby Brissett has been the Browns’ starter under center in Watson’s absence.
Watson update
Watson is not allowed at Browns practice facilities until October 10. But Cleveland’s coaching staff worked in conjunction with Watson’s throwing coach, Quincy Avery, in late August and early September to create “an individualized plan, and throwing scripts, to keep Watson sharp while he’s away from the team,” according to SI.com’s Albert Breer.
“Watson and Avery will conduct sessions to include field drills, film and board work four days per week,” Breer wrote on September 5.
