Watson has only played in 19 games since signing a fully guaranteed five-year, $230million contract with Cleveland in 2022. The deal has been a collective failure as Watson hasn´t played well when he´s been healthy. Berry opened his season wrap up news conference with the unexpected update on Watson, who made just seven starts this season as the Browns (3-14) stumbled after making the playoffs a year ago.

Berry said the Browns only learned about Watson´s new medical situation during player exit meetings on Sunday, when the 29-year-old brought it up to team doctors. Berry emphasized it´s too early to know what it means to Watson and the team going forward. It´s not yet known if surgery will be necessary.
