Deshaun Watson, Medically Cleared Over A Week Ago, Is Still Not Practicing Today Following The Browns Bye Week

How? Literally how? This man spent the entire week (two weeks ago) telling everyone who would listen that he was going to play against the Ravens, was medically cleared, and then chose to sit out of the game. Then HE TOOK THE ENTIRE WEEK OFF during the Browns bye week, and he's still not able to even get on the practice field today? It makes no sense to me.

I don't know how every profession operates, but in my day job, you need to provide a Doctor's Note if you ever miss three days of work in a row. I would demand a Doctor's Note from Deshaun Watson for missing 10+ days of work in a row, but the only problem is the Doctor has already said he's fine!

Additionally, what the fuck does this mean?

"Worked inside"? In my 30 years on Earth I've never heard of a player "working inside" while the rest of the team practices. Let's stop protecting the $230,000,000 man and start calling it as we see it. We either need to fire the team doctor that cleared him or we need to get his ass out on the practice field. Either that or we need to admit that Andrew Berry and Deshaun Watson watched the 49ers tee off on the Cowboys last night and said fuck that, let's rest you another week. Because the fact of the matter is that our Left Tackle situation is a disaster, Deshaun has a minor bruise, we guaranteed the man $230 million whether he's healthy or not, and Nick Bosa and the 49ers defense could end his career on Sunday. So while we might be making a business decision with Deshaun, thoughts and prayers to....Dorian Thompson Robinson and PJ Walker.

I don't know what the spread is for the 49ers vs. Browns this week but I can tell you it's not high enough.
