Deshaun Watson just stepped foot on an NFL field for the first time in 700 days … and the Houston Texans fans made their displeasure known — letting the boo birds fly as he made his Cleveland Browns debut.
The 27-year-old quarterback is returning from an 11-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy … after dozens of massage therapists made sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Watson faced a hostile crowd as he made his Browns debut on Sunday … with his former team’s supporters heckling him as he lined up under center.
As we previously reported, attorney Tony Buzbee — who repped almost every woman who accused Watson of sexual misconduct — announced at least 10 of his clients would be in attendance for the game.
Watson’s family was also at NRG Stadium to support … with everyone wearing #4 jerseys in the stands.
Deshaun had a smile on his face prior to the Browns’ first offensive drive … but the television broadcast showed many fans were not happy to see him.
There may be a bit of rust for Watson, who hasn’t played since 2020 — the Browns ended up going 3-and-out in their first possession.

Watson was asked earlier this week about the potential response he’d receive in his first game back … but he claimed his only focus was on his job as a leader of the team.
