Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson underwent a second surgery to repair his right Achilles tendon rupture this week and is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 NFL season.
Watson initially tore the tendon during the Browns’ Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 20.
His first surgery was performed on Oct. 25. Earlier this week, when Watson reported to CrossCountry Mortgage Campus for his exit physical as part of the Browns’ season-ending process, he complained of discomfort after rolling his ankle in Miami. MRI results demonstrated a re-rupture to his Achilles tendon.
Dr. Bob Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist in Charlotte, NC, performed both surgeries. Watson’s recovery time and return to play status is uncertain, and he will likely miss significant time during the 2025 season.
