However, Berry indicated that after seeing Watson struggled to even play catch on the field about three hours before kickoff, there was a consensus among those who were present that he couldn’t perform adequately. Berry said if Watson played anywhere else on the field that the injury would have been more manageable.
“It was pretty obvious what he had done to try and get ready throughout the week and he really was here 24/7 doing stuff at home and it was obvious that he couldn’t throw the ball on Sunday,” he said. “He couldn’t throw the ball ball enough to play.”
