Deshaun strongly denies the allegations in the Jane Doe lawsuit filed Monday. We have asked him not to comment further while this matter works its way through the courts, but are comfortable he will ultimately be vindicated.
The NFL on Tuesday said it is reviewing the complaint under the personal conduct policy. However, Watson will not be placed on the commissioner's exempt list because there have been no formal charges and the league's review just began.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Watson will still start Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars but declined to comment on the lawsuit, deferring to a team statement released Tuesday. We'll let the due process play out and follow the NFL's guidelines.
According to the lawsuit, the alleged actions occurred in October 2020 before Watson and a woman, who goes by the pseudonym 'Jane Doe' in the court filing, were set to have dinner at the woman's apartment.
