Watson (quadriceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The rookie out of Mississippi State has been dealing with a quadriceps injury for nearly a month, but after a full practice Friday, it appears he's moved past the issue. Expect Watson to serve as one of the Browns' top rotational inside linebackers in Week 1.

Watson is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Packers due to a quadriceps injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Watson sustained the injury early in the third quarter during a tackle on Packers running back Emanuel Wilson. Watson, the Browns' sixth-round pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, is competing for a depth spot at linebacker behind starters Devin Bush, Jordan Hicks and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

The Browns selected Watson in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 206th overall. Watson was an elite producer at Mississippi State, tallying 113 and 137 stops in his final two years of eligibility. He earned both All-American and All-SEC honors, but he fell down the draft board due to struggles in coverage. If Watson can latch on with a team early in his career, he could eventually become a two-down producer in the middle of a defense.
