Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has met the the terms of his suspension and is on track to be reinstated on Monday, according to the NFL, a move which would make him eligible to play against the Texans–his former team–next weekend.
The game would be Watson’s first regular-season appearance since Jan. 3, 2021, exactly 700 days since he last played.
Watson, who is serving an 11-game suspension for sexual misconduct, returned to practice earlier this month. The Browns planned to give him reps with the first-team upon his return to practice field, a league source told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
