From the article

Deshaun Watson isn't a QB worth believing in, even in the preseason. Monken said the former Pro Bowler will play the first half, but this will be his first action since 2024, when he tore and re-ruptured his Achilles. And he's been unplayable in Cleveland, with nearly as many turnover-worthy plays (18) as TD passes (19).

Watson's poor efficiency and injury history make him unreliable even in preseason.
