NFL concludes investigation into Deshaun Watson's sexual assault allegations

The NFL has concluded its investigation into sexual assault allegations against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, citing insufficient evidence to support a violation of its personal conduct policy. The allegations were made in a lawsuit filed in September. The lawsuit, which claimed incidents from October 2020, has been resolved through a confidential settlement. Watson denied the allegations, and no formal charges were filed against him. Watson previously served an 11-game suspension in 2022 after facing multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. He has settled 23 of 24 lawsuits related to these claims. This season, he has played seven games before suffering a season-ending injury.
