Deshaun Watson’s season is officially over, as the quarterback needs to undergo surgery to repair a broken bone in his throwing shoulder. The veteran suffered the injury in the Browns’ win over the Ravens on Sunday, and was able to finish the game before getting checked by doctors.
In his first comments since the team announced the surgery, Watson said that he wanted to play through the injury, but doctors advised him against that idea.
“I pushed very hard for it, to the point where all the experts and doctors were the ones that told me there’s no chance,” Watson said, via ProFootballTalk. “I pushed as far as I possibly could to get back out there and just try to play and push it toward after the season. I think the best situation for longevity and my career is to get immediate surgery. That’s what all the experts said, so I gotta follow their footsteps and go from there.”
