NFL ends probe of Browns' Watson in latest sexual assault case

The NFL has ended its review of sexual assault allegations that were levied against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in September, a league spokesperson told ESPN.

The spokesperson said that there was insufficient evidence to support a finding of a violation of the personal conduct policy.

One day after the Browns' season opener, a new lawsuit was filed accusing Watson of sexual assault and battery. In October, lawyers for both sides told ESPN the case had been resolved. Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represented the woman who was suing Watson, told ESPN that there was a confidential settlement.
