We could argue that PFN’s appraisal is overly broad. Watson has a “weakness,” but could he make it to the Super Bowl?

May 5 DTS Update Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a former fifth-round pick, showed potential during his rookie season in 2023 before suffering a hip injury that interrupted his season early.
He’s now working his way back, with Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston ahead of him on the depth chart… with an injury update from Cleveland.com’s Browns Insider Mary Kay Cabot…
“I’d say probably March (there was a turning point),” he stated. “I had another MRI. From there, things looked a lot better. We kind of started cranking it up from there, but I’m just really excited to return on Monday.”
