Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn’t know yet 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 he replied, “I think so,” but also said it would depend on how things go this week.
“It just depends on the medical process, treatment and rehabilitation that we do day to day. It’s definitely up in the air,” Watson said.
Watson said he suffered the injury during a Sept. 24 game against the Titans and was able to finish that game, not realizing until late the following week how serious his rotator cuff injury in his shoulder was.
“We didn’t know what it was during the game,” Watson said. “At the time, the adrenaline was flowing and everything was kind of flowing. . . . I just kind of dealt with it. There were a couple of throws that I felt but we didn’t know what they were.”
Watson described the injury as a “small tear” in the rotator cuff and said he is still learning about the nature of the injury. Asked if the injury would heal this season, Watson said he didn’t know.
“I’m not sure. This is my first time dealing with a rotator cuff,” Watson said.
Watson said he will eventually play when he is healthy enough to play.
“It could be tomorrow, or Sunday, or two weeks from now. I’m not even sure,” Watson said. “I can’t put a timeline on anything right now.
