The Cleveland Browns are facing a significant setback after fearing that their quarterback, Deshaun Watson, may have suffered a torn Achilles tendon during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The injury occurred without contact late in the first half, and Watson was visibly emotional as he was carted off the field, suggesting the severity of the situation.
Medical experts reviewing video footage of the incident indicated a clear rupture of Watson’s Achilles, a serious injury that typically requires surgery and a lengthy recovery period of 9-12 months. Watson is expected to miss the remainder of the season, with his recovery timeline and potential return highly uncertain. Some reports have speculated that he might consider undergoing the "speed bridge" procedure—a modern surgical technique designed to expedite recovery—similar to what Aaron Rodgers underwent after his Achilles injury【20†source】【21†source】.
