Deshaun Watson Returns to Practice, but Browns Plan to Sit Him Until 2026

Watson has come back from two Achilles tears, but reports say he won’t play this year. By sitting him, Cleveland preserves $44.274 million in insurance on the QB’s $46 million 2025 salary. His spot on the 2026 roster is safe thanks to guarantees and cap implications. Even though owner Jimmy Haslam called the trade “a big swing and a miss,” Watson is expected to compete for snaps next season.
