Watson is practicing today. The fact they held him out yesterday tells me he is still hurt. Wonder what he is at, 60%, 80%, whatever it is they must think it's better than the backup.
True, but that looks beats the classic QB drill of throwing to each other 10 yards apart on one knee. Seems to be doing a light on his feet quick drop, with a timed out route decently.
Insiders: "Behind closed doors, Watson didn't believe his shoulder was ready yet. He got tests done this morning. Test results forthcoming. It was a mutual agreement for him to play on Sunday."
So, if that's the case, this is different than the "he's durable" Watson we thought we were getting. Just put him on IR and trade for Brissett already.
It's important to note, if this info is correct, it was a mutual decision for him to play.
