Jilly Anais Watson, the model, entrepreneur, and wife of Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShaun Watson, recently provided a heartwarming glimpse into their private life, with a supportive message to her husband as he navigates a return to practice after a long-term injury. Taking to her Instagram Story, Anais shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Watson, with a heartfelt caption for the Browns’ quarterback.
The story, titled “FaceTimes from Hubby @ Work,” showed Watson smiling dressed in a Browns jersey and a beanie, a picture from his return to practice with Cleveland. Anais captioned the image:
“Loading…. #GodsTiming! Grateful to God for the grace that keeps my husband smiling, no matter what!” The visual moment, coupled with the faith-driven text, immediately conveys the positive and supportive environment surrounding the star quarterback as he pushes through his rehabilitation.”
The heartfelt moment comes as the 30-year-old quarterback returns to training after working his way back from a ruptured right Achilles tendon, an injury he first sustained in October 2024 and unfortunately re-injured in January 2025. This injury saw Watson last play in Week 7 of the 2024 season.
Browns Open Up Watson’s 21-Day Practice Window for Late-Season Return
The Browns recently opened a 21-day practice window for Watson earlier this month, which gives him an opportunity to practice with the team and potentially be activated for a late-season return. He must be activated by late December, or he will officially remain on the sidelines for the remainder of the 2025 campaign.
“They don’t think about Deshaun the way you think about Deshaun.”
“YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS. YOU CAN READ THE ROOM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS!”
