Deshaun Watson's New Role Revealed as Browns Coach Drops Major Update

We're in the second week of Deshaun Watson's 21-day practice window, and the Cleveland Browns finally have an update.
In a media interview, quarterback coach Bill Musgrave revealed just how involved Watson has been in the team's training sessions.
"Deshaun’s doing more out there on the practice field, more than he did last week, and we’re going to have some good drills with him today and get him some plays. And so, I think each and every day he’s doing more, and it’s just great to have him out there. Like I’ve talked about, it’s been great to have him on the sideline for our young QBs."
After suffering from two torn Achilles, Deshaun Watson is finally back and practicing with the Browns. And while it looks unlikely that he'll make it to the active roster, Watson brings a lot of experience, guiding rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel from the sidelines.
Now he can do so by participating in drills and training sessions with the team. As Margrave explained, "A lot of times when there’s a drill going on, we go try to steal some plays in the back and I try to play center, and we recruit some guys to play wide receiver just to give guys … it’s almost like having a meeting on our feet. It’s more active meeting than sitting in the classroom looking at the overhead projector."
Despite positive developments, Deshaun Watson creates a different problem for the Browns
Considering Watson likely won't make it through the 21-day practice window, the Browns will, in all likelihood, have to put him on season-ending injured reserve. But that's not the end of it
Watson signed a five-year, $233 million contract with the Cleveland Browns. If the Browns get rid of him before June, they will face a massive $135 million dead cap hit. Even if they wait until after June, they still take a $53 million dead cap hit.
The only option will be to keep him on. But with two rookie QBs on board already, who will start for the team? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
