Browns QB Deshaun Watson Doesn't Speak to Media Wednesday

The prevailing thought is that the same situation could play out this week.

Prior to the Colts game, the 28-year-old spoke publicly for the first time since he injured his shoulder back in Week 3 against the Titans. The Browns signal caller opened up about the strain of his subscapularis – a muscle within the rotator cuff of his throwing shoulder. According to Watson, the strain includes a number of small micro-tears that will only take time to heal. He ultimately opted for playing against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Watson also mentioned that usually rotator cuff injuries like the one he's dealing with, normally take four to six weeks to heal. In his instance, both he and the team have been taking a "day-to-day" approach to the ailment, understanding that the recovery time can vary.

Still, Watson got off to a rough start against Indianapolis in Week 7 and after leaving the game following a hard hit, was just one-for-five passing, for five yards and an interception. It didn't look like he was able to drive the football the way he normally would.

Things can change quickly. Just last week, Watson didn't practice with the team Wednesay, then was a limited and full participant on Thursday and Friday respectfully, before playing in the game Sunday. Similar to previous weeks, the situation remains fluid.
