Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Monday that Watson has experienced a setback in his rehab from Achilles surgery that will extend the quarterback's recovery timeline, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Watson suffered the season-ending injury in an Oct.
20 loss to the Bengals and underwent surgery Oct.
25 to repair his torn right Achilles tendon.
According to Berry, the Browns weren't aware of Watson having suffered a setback until he was re-evaluated Sunday during his end-of-season physical.
Given the nature of Achilles injuries, Watson was already facing an uphill battle to be back to full health for the start of the 2025 campaign, and the setback makes it more likely that he opens next season on a reserve list.
After agreeing to a restructured contract in late December, Watson remains on the Browns' books through the 2026 season, but his underwhelming play over his first three seasons in Cleveland in addition to the Achilles injury muddles his long-term outlook in the organization.

A trade back scenario from @BootFallFan that beefs up the OL and nets us a future 1st from the Jets. What do we think #Browns fans? Keep the mock drafts coming! https://t.co/oJVqh9rmpf
Travis Hunter among power-5 WRs in 2024:
👏90 receptions (T-1st)
💨1,258 yards (2nd)
🙌15 TD (1st)
⚡️89.0 receiving grade (4th)
If we draft him, I’d like to get the ball in his hands as much as possible at the next level.
He should be a full-time offensive weapon

Another year removed from the Achilles tear, in an offense better suited for his skillset, I can see the vision #Browns

Pick a WR for dynasty - Jayden Reed or Jerry Jeudy. 🤔
