NFL closes investigation into Deshaun Watson's sexual assault allegations

The NFL has closed its investigation into sexual assault allegations against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, citing insufficient evidence to support a violation of the personal conduct policy. Watson, who faced accusations in Texas, reached a confidential settlement. Watson is currently on injured reserve due to an Achilles tendon injury, marking the second consecutive season he has ended on the sidelines. He has played only 19 games in three seasons, impacted by a previous suspension and injuries. The Browns still owe Watson $46 million for the next two seasons, complicating their roster decisions. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston has stepped in, showing some success, but the team's future with Watson remains uncertain.
