I\u2019ve gotten to see him just work so hard, whether it\u2019s in the training room, by himself in the indoors with the trainers, on the practice field now for the last bit. But it just felt like this was the right decision for him and for us, and his focus will continue to be to help this football team and continue to get healthy and get stronger and all those types of things,&#8221; Stefanski said during a press conference on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/injuries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tore his right Achilles tendon<\/a> in October and then re-tore it during rehab in January.
