Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Deshaun Watson took to the podium this afternoon to address some questions before their Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Watson has appeared 100 percent healthy in practice and seemed eager for his matchup against the Cowboys during the press conference. When asked what his thoughts were about the team’s doubters among the national media, Watson reiterated that he was focused on more important things (via Cleveland dot com’s Mary Kay Cabot):
“It’s perfect. We’re just going to go under the radar and work… The key is to be the best team by Week 17.”

The Browns’ quarterback did not see any playing time in preseason due to the rehabilitation process and protection of his shoulder. This has only seemed to make Watson more eager to get out on the field.
Multiple reports have stated that every Browns player on the active roster was a participant at practice today. While the national media has lower expectations for the Browns, the fans are ready to see Watson back in full form with a healthy roster this Sunday against the Cowboys.
