Looks like NFL fans won’t be seeing Deshaun Watson do his job on the field this season!
The Cleveland Browns quarterback who previously suffered a head injury will undergo a surgical procedure to repair his throwing shoulder to prevent more serious structural damage. The injury he suffered while playing came after he returned from an 11-game suspension following allegations of sexual harassment.
Deshaun Watson’s NFL Season Ends Early
In an official statement, The Cleveland Browns revealed that the Quarterback will be out for the season following an MRI scan. The message reads in part:
“Deshaun Watson underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Monday on two injuries suffered on separate plays in the first half of Sunday’s 33-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens.”
The team continued that imaging on his left ankle revealed a high ankle sprain, and Watson informed “the medical staff of new discomfort in his right shoulder that he felt after a hit in the first half. An MRI of his right shoulder revealed a displaced fracture of the glenoid.”

However, the injury did not stop the QB from finishing the game with energy, but after consulting with Brown’s official doctor, James Voos, and shoulder specialist Neal ElAttrache, the tone changed.
“It has been determined that this injury requires immediate surgical repair to prevent further structural damage. Deshaun will be placed on injured reserve at the end of the season, and a full recovery is expected,” the statement on Cleveland Browns.com said.
It’s been a rough season for Watson as The Blast shared that he previously suffered a head injury after being pushed by a defender in a game between the Cleveland Browns and the Indianapolis Colts.
The impact of the fall left him down on the NFL field for several minutes as medics quickly rushed to him. Watson’s head reportedly wobbled after the impact, meaning he may have passed out. He was later helped by Browns personnel to the sideline.
The Blast shared that the former Houston Texans star was suspended for 11 games last NFL season following more than 20 sexual misconduct lawsuits. He was slapped with a $5 million fine and ordered to undergo a mandatory treatment program before he was allowed to play again.
The decision did not sit well with some fans and NFL attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents more than 20 women who have come forward with allegations against the 27-year-old.
NFL Quarterback Walks Unscathed In Sexual Misconduct Case
Watson has certainly had his fair share of sexual harassment allegations. Just last year, the 27-year-old was acquitted of nearly 24 counts of sexual harassment and misconduct. She was accused of acting inappropriately with her massage therapist, who as shared by The Blast dropped nine criminal complaints.

The complaint included indecent exposure and intentionally using his penis to touch his therapist’s hand, all of which the athlete denied on Twitter. Watson stated that he had never disrespected any woman and condemned the plaintiff’s attorney for demanding a ridiculous “six-figure settlement request.”
“Unlike him, it’s not about the money for me – it’s about clearing my name, and I can’t wait to do it,” Watson added in the tweet. Following the very public and heavy allegations, Nike ended their support of the athlete adding to the problem.
However, on March 11, 2022, a Houston grand jury voted against indicting the NFL star on all charges. The decision was revealed by the Harris County District Attorney’s office, after which Rust Hardin, Watson’s lead attorney, shared that his team will continue to unravel the civil case.
Hardin vowed to defend all cases against Watson because he believed he was innocent and that the plaintiff’s attorney had monetized the entire situation by feeding distorted stories to the press.
Sources revealed that the athlete invoked the Fifth Amendment and presented a deposition for his two multiple counts on the same day the grand jury decided to let him walk away a free man.
An emotional Watson expressed her gratitude in a press conference after the verdict saying, “I thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing the truth to be heard. I thank everyone who was a part of this for seeing and listening to both sides.”
