Social media reacts: Deshaun Watson plays his first snaps in the preseason
Former Tiger Deshaun Watson saw his first action of the 2023 season in the Cleveland Browns’ second preseason game against Washington Commanders in Cleveland, playing limited action but having an impact.
In his lone drive on the field, Watson completed all three of his passes for 12 yards adding three rushes and 20 yards on the ground. Limited action for the star quarterback, but enough to shake off some rust.
Expectations are high for Watson, who will play his first full season as a Brown in 2023 after a suspension in 2022. The team has a ton of talent and should help the three-time Pro Bowler return to form.
Here is a look at how Twitter/X reacted to Watson’s first action of the preseason.

Good Morning My Cleveland Browns Family! Yes we lost but Deshaun Watson looked good. He used his arm and legs to make plays and did so with smooth confidence. And after watching the defensive line without Myles Or Harris…….Oooh Weee This D is gonna be a problem 😤#DawgPound pic.twitter.com/lOA892mxD5

DeShaun Watson slipped *in the pocket* and the Commanders pass-rush still couldn't contain him.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/Qiuvf0E1VX

I thought Deshaun Watson looked extremely comfortable last night. Exactly what they needed to see. #DawgPound

Night and day difference from Deshaun Watson yesterday compared to his preseason debut in Jacksonville last season. Looked 10x more comfortable and in control. #Browns

Deshaun Watson lasted one series.
Kevin Stefanski must’ve liked the movement on offense to pull him after one series….that and the slippery conditions had to play a role in not seeing him again. Not worth it. #Browns @fox8news— John Sabol (@John_Sabol) August 12, 2023
Chase Young gets hands on Deshaun Watson but can't get him down.
Phidarion Mathis looked to have tweaked something and was limping mid-play before leaving the field.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/aKIORbUZDm

Deshaun Watson's night is predictably over. Josh Dobbs takes over with the second team offense.
Watson looked verrry comfortable. Big-time positive considering how last year wound up. Moved the chains without Amari Cooper.
