BEREA, Ohio – Here are some scribbles after checking out the Browns during minicamp earlier in the week: 1. When it comes to the Browns and their various minicamps, the two big stories are the health of Deshaun Watson and the impact of new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. As for the first, Watson appears healthy, throwing when he’s supposed to as he comes back from major shoulder surgery.
2. On Tuesday, about his shoulder: “It came a long way from something that was a big scare last year ..
. something I’d never dealt with. (It was) something that most football players don’t .
.. especially as a quarterback .
.. don’t go through that type of surgery.
But for me to be where I’m at today is definitely a blessing, more glory to that.” 3. Watson’s surgery was a big deal.
He had a “displaced fracture to the glenoid,” according to the Browns. Watson later explained he also had a partial tear of the labrum in his right shoulder. He was injured in the Nov.
12, 2023, victory over Baltimore. In an April 16, 2024, press conference, When the glenoid came off the bone, the labrum was the one that was hanging on the bone. He (the surgeon) had to pretty much repair that and put that together.
He made sure the labrum was good.” 4. Everything was fine when it came to Watson.
He didn’t throw in 7-on-7 drills until the final week of minicamp. When he did take part, there were no warning signs. But we won’t know much about Watson until he actually plays in the fall when.
