Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has strongly denied new sexual assault allegations made by a woman who claims he assaulted her during a date in October 2020. The woman, seeking over $1 million in damages, filed a civil lawsuit in Texas. Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, stated that the quarterback will not comment further on the matter while it proceeds through the courts. The NFL is investigating the lawsuit to determine if it violates the league's personal conduct policy. Watson, who faced 24 previous lawsuits related to sexual misconduct while with the Texans, is set to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday, as Browns coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed he had not considered benching him. The legal battle looms as Watson’s past allegations and current claims could impact his high-profile contract with the Browns.
