Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn’t yet know whether he will play Sunday against the Colts or miss his third straight game with a right shoulder injury.
Watson was asked if he had a chance to play against the Colts and replied, “I think so,” but he also said it depends on how things go this week.
“It just depends on the medical process, the treatment and the rehab we do on a daily basis. There’s definitely still room for improvement,” Watson said.
Watson said he sustained the injury during the game against the Titans on Sept. 24 and was able to finish that game, and that he didn’t realize until late the next week how badly he had damaged the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder had injured.
“We didn’t know what it was during the game,” Watson said. “At this point my adrenaline is pumping and everything is kind of flowing. . . . I just get by with it. There were a few throws where I felt it, but we didn’t know what it was.”
Watson described the injury as a “micro-tear” of his rotator cuff and said he was still figuring out the nature of the injury. When asked if the injury would heal this season, Watson said he didn’t know.
“I’m not sure. “This is the first time I’ve struggled with a rotator cuff,” Watson said.
Ultimately, Watson said, he will play when he is healthy enough to play.
“It could be tomorrow, it could be Sunday, it could be in two weeks. I’m not even sure,” Watson said. “Right now I can’t put a timetable on anything.
