The Browns reportedly have established a plan for Deshaun Watson entering practice this week as the quarterback prepares to make his return from suspension.
Watson, 27, is set to take first-team reps with the Cleveland offense upon his return to practice on Wednesday, a league source told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Cleveland has determined the exact number of reps Watson will receive, per Breer, but his participation will not interfere with current starter Jacoby Brissett, whom the team will continue to prioritize in preparation for Week 11.
Watson is serving an 11-game suspension for sexual misconduct, and was allowed to return to the Browns facility in early October for team meetings and individual workouts. Cleveland cleared the veteran QB for practice on Monday, his first eligible day to resume practicing since training camp.
