Deshaun Watson Settles Latest Civil Suit Over Sexual Assault Allegation

The settlement likely ends further NFL punishment for the Browns quarterback, who continues to struggle on the field.

Deshaun Watson has settled a civil lawsuit filed by a woman alleging sexual assault during a 2020 date, with the terms remaining confidential.
This settlement likely concludes the NFL's investigation into Watson under its personal conduct policy, making further suspension improbable.
Watson was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 due to similar allegations involving multiple women during massage sessions.
Despite underperforming this season, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirms Watson as the starting quarterback.
Watson's performance has been criticized, with analysts calling the Browns' situation one of the worst in professional sports due to his contract and play.
