Deshaun Watson Placed on PUP List

Tuesday, July 22, 9:10 PM

The Cleveland Browns have placed quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) on the active/physically unable to perform list, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero notes that Watson's status for the 2025 season is "up in the air." Watson tore his right Achilles tendon in Week 7 of the 2024 season, then tore it again while rehabbing this past January. As a result, it's unlikely he factors for Cleveland this season. The Browns have a crowded QB room entering training camp. Veteran Joe Flacco and former first-round pick Kenny Pickett are the favorites to win the job for Week 1, while 2025 draft picks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders bring some added competition. Even when Watson returns to full strength, he may no longer be in the Browns' plans. The 29-year-old has struggled whenever he's been on the field for Cleveland.

Mitchell Trubisky Not a Lock for Backup Job

Saturday, June 14, 11:19 AM

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that the Buffalo Bills backup quarterback job behind starter Josh Allen is up for grabs this offseason. Mitchell Trubisky isn't a lock to remain as Allen's backup in 2025. The writing was on the wall for Trubisky's backup job to be in jeopardy when the team signed Mike White to a two-year deal late last season. The Bills can save $1.5 million on this year's salary cap if they were to release Trubisky, even though $1 million of his base salary became guaranteed by staying on the roster through the offseason. It looks like Buffalo is going to let Trubisky and White battle it out this summer for the backup job. Trubisky has more experience in the NFL and more mobility, but White is more of a natural thrower, particularly in the intermediate and deep areas of the field. The competition might come down to who has the better camp and preseason.
