BEREA — The Browns got one player back from a preseason-long injury-related absence. Another remains out, although there's still a possibility he could come back at some point in the season.
Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. passed his physical and was placed on the initial 53-man active roster when the Browns released it ahead of the 4 p.m. Aug. 26 deadline. However, quarterback Deshaun Watson remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which doesn't necessarily end his season.
Hall suffered a knee injury in the Browns' 2024 season finale against the Baltimore Ravens . He spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list as he continued to rehab from the injury.
Watson is still coming back from the two Achilles surgeries he had between October, 2024, and January of this
