Browns QB Deshaun Watson throwing full speed after shoulder surgery, timetable for return unknown

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson said he’s following a conservative plan as he recovers from major shoulder surgery, but that he’s been able to throw at full speed.

Watson played in just six games in his second season with Cleveland before suffering a fracture to the glenoid bone in his throwing shoulder. The 28-year-old said his rehab has gone according to schedule and that there haven’t been any setbacks.

He’s been throwing pain free and without any issues.

“Everything is fluid motion, no hinging,” Watson said Tuesday, raising his arm to demonstrate. ”When I’m throwing, everything is fluid and motion is really good. The velocity and the strength is really good.”

While giving a positive medical report, Watson didn’t have a timetable for when he’ll be 100%.

“It can be sooner than later, it can be later than sooner,” he said.
