Deshaun Watson's joint practice is reason for Browns fans to worry

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is set to play his first full season since 2020, but training camp isn't off to a flying start.
Deshaun Watson hasn't exactly looked bad in preseason action thus far — of which the Browns have played two games — if only because he hasn't received much time on the field. In practice, though, Watson has received positive reviews from his teammates.
Against rival competition, though, Watson has been outplayed by the likes of rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson. In this week's joint practice against the Philadelphia Eagles, Watson has looked like anything but a former Pro Bowler against the defending NFC Champions.

#Eagles v Browns, Day 2 W/L verdict:
This ended up being a blowout
After a lackluster Day 1 the Eagles were the better team on Day 2 when it mattered most. The Browns didn’t play poorly (and actually started good). The Eagles were just better
The Eagles defensive and offensive lines both won their matchups after the offensive line struggled on Day 1
In biggest 11v11s of the day the Eagles 1st/2nd team offenses both got TDs on beautiful throws from Hurts and Mariota. Both 1st/2nd team defenses got INTs
Coaches should be very encouraged by this performance
VERDICT: Eagles win
Sirianni and Hurts are now 7-2 in joint practices

To be fair to Watson, there are many quarterbacks who would look foolish against the Eagles secondary. However, most of the players didn't reset the QB market.
