NFL closes investigation into Deshaun Watson's sexual assault allegation
bbc.com —
The NFL has concluded its investigation into a recent sexual assault allegation against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. The inquiry followed a civil lawsuit filed in September by a woman in Texas, which was settled confidentially. The league stated there was insufficient evidence to support any violation of its personal conduct policy. As a result, no formal action will be taken against Watson, and the matter is now closed. Watson previously faced multiple allegations and was suspended for 11 games in 2022. He has not played since October due to an Achilles injury and has participated in only 19 games for the Browns since joining the team.
