Newly Released Video Shows Deshaun Watson Falling on the Wrong Side of the Law Once Again
The last couple of months has been brutal on Deshaun Watson. The former Houston Texans man was traded to the Cleveland Browns but has not been able to play a regular season game for his new team since he signed. This is mainly due to an 11-game suspension handed out to Deshaun Watson after over 25 women filed sexual misconduct cases against him during his time with the Texans.

After a meeting with the NFL owners on Tuesday in New York, commissioner Roger Goodell shared an update on Watson and his potential return to action. He said, “Yes, he’s followed all of the terms [of the suspension]. As far as any additional [lawsuits], obviously, we will follow all of them. If there’s new information, we will take that into consideration. But we’ll see as time goes on.”
As a part of the agreement, Watson was suspended for 11-games and was required to pay a fine of $5 million for the complaints against him. However, in the past few days, a female masseuse has come forward with a lawsuit against Watson alleging that he forced her into performing acts of fellatio during an encounter in a hotel during his time in Houston.

To make things worse, recently surfaced videos revealed Waston was fined for over-speeding just a few days after he was traded to the Browns. The quarterback was caught going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit in his G Wagon with two other passengers with him. Deshaun Watson was fined $185 for the same.
When will Deshaun Watson return to action?
Watson has not played a regular season game in the NFL since January 3rd 2021 when he played in the Texans’ season finale against the Tennessee Titans. He will be eligible to return to practice on November 14th and is slated to be reinstated from the suspended list on Nov. 28.
Ironically, his first game after his suspension will be against his former team, the Houston Texans. However, it will be interesting to see if the NFL takes any further action on Watson based on the new cases that are being filed against him.
