Contradicting a previous report about his status, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson may be back sooner than anticipated.
Watson is battling a deep rotator cuff confusion but could be in line to return on Oct. 22 when Cleveland visits the Colts, according to a Saturday evening report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Per Schefter, Watson’s injury “has made it difficult for him to drive the football when he throws.” The three-time Pro Bowler has not played since a 289-yard, two-touchdown outing in the Browns’ 27–3 win over the Titans on Sept. 24.
