Deshaun Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon for the second time in three months, threatening to sideline him for the entire 2025 NFL season. Watson's discomfort surfaced after he rolled his ankle in Miami, and further examinations confirmed the re-rupture, necessitating another operation.

Having played only 19 games over three seasons due to suspensions and injuries, the news complicates his future with the Browns, who owe him $92 million as part of a $230 million fully guaranteed contract. General manager Andrew Berry acknowledged Watson's recent setback while the team explores their options.
