CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns may have just lost another game, but the team has something to look forward to, quarterback Deshaun Watson will be practicing for the first time this season on Wednesday.

Watson, who played four seasons with the Texans, was suspended in August when he settled with the league after being accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women in massage therapy sessions.

He was suspended for 11 games by the league.

To this point, Watson has been permitted only to attend meetings and work out at the team's facility. The Browns (3-6) don't practice until Wednesday, when Watson will rejoin his teammates on the field.

His first game back will be on Dec. 4 against his former team, where Browns GM Andrew Berry said he will start as long as he meets provisions in his deal with the league.

Watson, who returned to the Browns' facility last month, sat out the 2021 while his legal issues festered.
