The injury occurred when Watson rolled his ankle during an offseason exit physical, which revealed the tendon had torn again after his initial Achilles rupture on October 20, 2024, during the Browns&#8217; Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. His first surgery was performed shortly afterward on October 25, 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Deshaun Watson\u2018s career with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Browns?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#Browns<\/a> is likely over\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland has paid Watson 230 million for just 19 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 12 million per game<br \/>\n\u2022 68 thousand dollars per passing yard<br \/>\n\u2022 12 million dollars for each touchdown<br \/>\n\u2022 $19 million for each INT<\/p>\n<p>WORST CONTRACT IN HISTORY. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w3W0Ku7UTT\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/w3W0Ku7UTT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLFootball (@_MLFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_MLFootball\/status\/1877775627085869380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Browns released a statement outlining the setback:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Earlier this week, Deshaun Watson reported discomfort after rolling his ankle in Miami during the offseason.
