Deshaun Watson delivered an admittedly rusty performance in his first game in 700 days, a span dating back to his final game with the Texans. deshaunwatson texans browns kprc2 click2houston sports
Watson got a piece of the tackle after being picked off. It was that kind of day for the Cleveland Browns quarterback in his first game back after serving an 11-game NFL suspension for multiple violations of the personal conduct policy.
“It was just more so of getting out there and being able to play. Live bullets are coming at you. It’s just knocking off the rust and getting the timing down. It was the first time for live action, but it was good to feel it.” Watson, as he did days before kickoff, declined to address the allegations against him, which he has repeatedly denied in public statements and through his Houston-based attorney Rusty Hardin. Watson has settled 23 civil lawsuits. There are two active lawsuits with one refusing settlement offers. In the other active lawsuit, Hardin is seeking sanctions.
“I was just excited to be back on the field today. I did everything that I was asked and was required to do. I did all that, and I was able to be able to play and be on the field today.” Texans safety Jonathan Owens, who once competed against Watson on the practice squad, had a friendly conversation with him after a tackle where he told his former teammate he’s a starter now.
