Deshaun Watson's 'Good Enough' Performance in Browns' Preseason Opener


The Chicago Bears opened their 2026 preseason with a convincing win against the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field on Saturday.

Deshaun Watson returned to game action in the Cleveland Browns' preseason opener. NFL insider Jason La Canfora described Deshaun Watson's performance as "good enough".

La Canfora noted that Watson made the easy passes and demonstrated good decision-making. He also mentioned that Watson's pocket presence and ability to escape are not as strong as they used to be. La Canfora said that Watson led a scoring drive and played like a point guard, distributing the ball effectively. La Canfora acknowledged that Watson's ability to create explosive plays has diminished but he will still need to earn his paycheck.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
