If Watson plays as expected on Sunday 9/13, this will resolve YES. Otherwise, I will reopen it with a close date of next year.

does preseason count?

@agi202something you know it never occurred to me that it would. If you had asked me I would have said no, but the market doesn't say. I still think no, on the basis that preseason games don't count towards career stats such as games played, starts, etc.

Still, looking good for the yes holders.

Watson is active on Cleveland's roster, taking first-team camp reps, and expected to play the August 15 preseason opener; no retirement or permanent medical exclusion is reported.
