Watson healthy after Achilles surgeries but must prove durability in QB competition.

Watson is healthy after a pair of Achilles procedures kept him out of the 2025 season, but he'll have to show he can stay healthy and perform better than he has during his injury-riddled stint in Cleveland. He is competing with Shedeur Sanders for the starting QB role, with both splitting first-team reps throughout the spring; the source notes Monken wants to extend the competition into padded practices and preseason before deciding on a starter by Week 1.
