CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Michael Woods II likely will miss the entire 2023 season after rupturing his Achilles tendon while working out with quarterback Deshaun Watson in Texas. A sixth-round draft pick last year, Woods got hurt Monday while catching passes from Watson. A team spokesperson said the 23-year-old Woods will need surgery. Recovery time for the injury can take up to a year. Woods had just five catches for 45 yards in 10 games as a rookie. But the Browns have been encouraged by his development and expected him to have a larger impact this season. Woods also played on special teams in 2022.
