The Athletic’s Zac Jackson reports Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has been medically cleared.

07 April 2026

He’s expected to be in the building today to begin the NFL’s most big-name (and least-impactful) quarterback competition of the offseason with Shedeur Sanders. Watson ruptured his Achilles once on the field and once off it, and hasn’t appeared on an NFL field since October 10, 2024. He’s a live underdog to win the competition, but there’s likely little fantasy value to be plumbed from the situation.
