Cleveland Browns\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Deshaun Watson\u00a0is throwing again after months of rehabilitation from a November 2023 shoulder surgery, and the updates have begun to roll in.<\/p>\n

\"Everything<\/p>\n

The most pertinent came from head coach\u00a0Kevin Stefanski\u00a0on Monday, March 25 at the NFL Owners\u2019 Meeting in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing everything he\u2019s supposed to, so he\u2019s right on track,\u201d\u00a0Stefanski said, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. \u201cHe\u2019s right where he is supposed to be, so I\u2019d anticipate that he\u2019s throwing this spring with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporters also asked Stefanski whether Watson will be full-go as the starter come the regular season in September. The coach was optimistic, but hedged his bets with months between now and Week 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see [Watson] in April and we\u2019ll just continue that rehab,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cI\u2019ll stay out of it, and the doctors and trainers will tell me when he\u2019s ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deshaun Watson Throwing With Browns TE David Njoku in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

Tight end\u00a0David Njoku\u00a0and Watson\u2019s private quarterbacks coach,\u00a0Quincy Avery, both flew out to Los Angeles for the big event at UCLA, and all went according to plan.<\/p>\n

By all accounts, Watson is in a great spot in his rehab, and on track to start the season. He\u2019ll be in Cleveland for most or all of the offseason program, which begins April 15 with two weeks of conditioning, and runs through the mandatory minicamp in June.<\/p>\n

The Browns won\u2019t rush Watson, but he\u2019s expected to throw during organized team activities, which includes 11-on-11s, and the minicamp.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Deshaun Watson Will Return to New Wide Receiver, New OC in Jerry Jeudy and Ken Dorsey<\/h2>\n

\"Jerry<\/h2>\n
\n

Whenever Watson actually rejoins the Browns, he will have a new target at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Cleveland recently added wideout\u00a0Jerry Jeudy\u00a0alongside 2023 Pro Bowlers Njoku and No. 1 wide receiver\u00a0Amari Cooper\u00a0via a trade with the\u00a0Denver Broncos. The Browns then immediately extended Jeudy on a three-year deal, which will make him a staple of the team\u2019s offense through the remainder of Watson\u2019s contract \u2014 unless Cleveland decides to cut bait with Jeudy earlier.<\/p>\n

Watson and his pass-catching trio will work under a new offensive coordinator in 2024, former\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0OC and former NFL quarterback\u00a0Ken Dorsey. Dorsey and Stefanski traveled to Los Angeles to meet with Watson in early March, which the head coach spoke about on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cKen and I flew out there, spent 24 hours in L.A., went out to dinner with Deshaun. He\u2019s in a great place physically,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cReally, it was more of me checking in with him, and starting to develop a relationship with Ken was really the most important part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsey will undoubtedly bring changes with him to Cleveland\u2019s offense from what former OC\u00a0Alex Van Pelt, now with the\u00a0New England Patriots, ran for Watson over their two years together in Cleveland. However, Stefanski said he doesn\u2019t expect there will be a significant learning curve amid the transition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I wouldn\u2019t say a huge learning curve. I do think it\u2019s important that you challenge all of your players, Deshaun and everybody. I think you challenge them every year with something new. And that\u2019s why I\u2019m not beholden to one terminology or one way.<\/p>\n

So, I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s going to be a huge learning curve for any of our players, but there is going to be some new things that we\u2019re doing. New things in how we\u2019re calling it, how we\u2019re teaching some of our techniques.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another change in 2024 will be to the backup quarterback position. Instead of bringing back\u00a0Joe Flacco, the Browns will run with\u00a0Jameis Winston\u00a0as the team\u2019s No. 2 signal-caller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
