The Cleveland Browns announced that quarterback Deshaun Watson could play for the team on Friday.
As long as an indefinite suspension isn’t handed down, Watson will be able to play in the preseason. Head coach Kevin Stefanski already said he hopes for Watson to play in a preseason game. Which game is not known, but the Browns may have to make it the first one, if they want Watson on the field before a potential new suspension comes from the appeal.
Even if the suspension does become 10-12 games, the Browns will want to get him on the field if they can in the preseason. Watson needs to have some live game action however it is made possible.
The Browns announce Deshaun Watson is expected to start Friday’s preseason game against the Jaguars.
