Watson is expected to miss “significant time” in 2025, the Browns said Friday in a statement. The injury further clouds his future with the Browns, who still owe him $92 million after signing him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract in 2022.
Earlier this week, general manager Andrew Berry said Watson had a setback and the team was gathering more information.
The 29-year-old was originally injured on Oct. 20 in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Watson had surgery five days later, and he had been away from the team rehabbing his injury when he got hurt again.
The Browns have insurance that protects Watson’s contract. If he’s out for the season, they can recoup some money and get some salary-cap relief.
