Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will not play in their final pre-season match against the Seahawks. The team made this announcement on Saturday, which has raised concerns among the fans.

Coach Kevin Stefanski had earlier said that all the starters, including Watson, should be ready for this match. However, in recent days, Stefanski changed Watson’s plans and decided to keep him out of the match. The main reason behind this decision was Watson’s “normal arm fatigue” during recent practice.

Watson participated fully in the practice held on Thursday, but this session was not open to the media. Stefanski said that he is not very concerned about Watson’s condition. Watson has not played any game since surgery on his throwing shoulder last November, and there is uncertainty about his return.

In Watson’s absence, backup quarterback Jameis Winston is likely to play. This is the last pre-season match for the Browns, and they will open the season on September 8 at their home ground against the Dallas Cowboys.

Watson’s status is important for Browns fans, as his return could prove to be decisive for the team. While Jameis Winston will have the opportunity to capitalize on this opportunity, Watson’s absence could affect the team’s preparation.

The team and coaching staff have taken this decision considering Watson’s health as paramount, so that he can be fully prepared for the upcoming season. Now all eyes will be on the start of the season, and fans are hoping that Watson will be back on the field soon.
