Browns QB Deshaun Watson sued for sexual assult, battery

Pro Football Talk

Sep 09 · 4:16 PM EDT

As Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggles to regain his old form, he has a new legal issue.

On Monday, Watson was sued in Houston for sexual assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Fantasy Impact:

The plaintiff in the new case, who filed under the Jane Doe pseudonym, contends that she went on a date with Watson. Most if not all other cases arose from paid massages that Watson had arranged. The details can be found in the story.

From a fantasy angle, the story went on to say it’s possible that Watson could be subject to further scrutiny under the Personal Conduct Policy. It’s also possible that a suspension — if one is imposed — could give the Browns a path toward voiding his remaining salary guarantees and ending the relationship. The story added the biggest difference between the latest case and the others is that Watson specifically is accused of sexual assault.

Deshaun Watson cleared for full contact, to get majority of reps in upcoming joint practices

Browns QB Deshaun Watson’s shoulder was cleared for full contact, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Watson did not play in Sunday’s preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers but had been throwing in nearly every training camp practice this summer. He is expected to get a “vast majority” of the first-team reps during the team’s upcoming joint practices Wednesday and Thursday with the Minnesota Vikings. He will not play in the game Saturday but Stefanski did leave open the possibility of Watson playing in the preseason finale August 24 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy dealing with knee injury

Browns run their first two-minute drills but without Deshaun Watson (rest day), Elijah Moore (walked off with trainer) and Jerry Jeudy (limited with knee). Winston vs second team D finds David Bell for diving TD.

Related Players: Elijah Moore, Jamari Thrash, Cedric Tillman

Fantasy Impact:

It doesn't seem like anything major but Jeudy certainly doesn't need any setbacks as we look for a bounce-back season in fantasy. He is currently a WR6 in 4for4's rankings.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski believes Deshaun Watson is improving, "looks normal"

Did Thursday’s final mandatory minicamp practice provide a subtle — or maybe even not-so-subtle — sign that Deshaun Watson is feeling better? At the risk of making too much out of the last of the team’s 13 instruction-based spring practice sessions, we’ll stick with maybe.

“I’ve said it before (that) I’ve gotten to see him throw throughout the course of this rehab,” HC Kevin Stefanski said. “I don’t know (exactly) when it was, but a while back, he looked very normal to me. So that looked normal to me.”

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Fantasy Impact:

Assuming there are no future hiccups with Watson's rehabbing, he should be fully cleared well ahead of Week 1. He is currently ranked as 4for4's QB22 as he attempts to string together his first full season since 2020.
