BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson said he’s back to “throwing at full speed” again, as he continues to work his way back from last year’s season-ending right shoulder injury.
Watson underwent surgery in November to repair a displaced fracture to the glenoid in his throwing shoulder.
“Everything is full motion,” Watson said Tuesday after reporting for Cleveland’s offseason program. “Everything is fluid and motion is really good. The velocity and the strength is really good.”
Watson said he didn’t know when he’d feel 100% again or be cleared to practice without restrictions. He did say that he’s hoping to participate in OTA and minicamp practices but noted that would hinge on how his shoulder continues to react in the coming days.
“It can be sooner than later, it can be later than sooner,” Watson said. “This is an injury that, for spring, you want to be a little bit more conservative. This summer you get ready for training camp. That’s going to be a time where we can pick that up.”
Watson has three seasons left on the $230 million fully guaranteed deal he signed with the Browns in March 2022.
