Browns TE Ben Watson Has No Lingering Symptoms From Concussions

One of the primary reasons for the Cleveland Browns' dismal showing on offense during the 2011 season was the team's lack of playmakers in the passing game. The shortage of viable targets was highlighted as tight end Ben Watson battled concussions throughout the season and ultimately was placed on injured reserve following a third concussion sustained Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two months after that injury, Watson said he feels great. "I'm great. Three or four days after the last incident, I felt normal," Watson, who spent the first six seasons of his career playing for the New England Patriots, said during a recent interview with the Boston Herald. "I passed all my cognitive tests. I didn't have any headaches. I didn’t have any nausea. I didn’t have any dizziness. ... With three games left, they just erred on the side of caution and decided to end the season for me. You hate for that to happen, but that's why the doctors are in place. As far as lingering symptoms, I didn't have anything. I know some guys have headaches for weeks. That wasn't my scenario, thankfully. So hopefully, it was just a bad luck year."

well, i can't speak for famousguy and his reasoning, but if I were the G.M., i would be thinking long and hard about getting rid of Watson too. Dude has become a concussion machine and is 31 years old. I'm just not sure how much he can stay on the field at this point.

He's been fine until this year, as long as he's healthy they need the veteran leadership. I've been calling for years for Evan Moore to get more clock but he's not a complete TE, they'll figure something out but as of right now there's no reason to think about releasing him.
