Deshaun Watson "strongly denies" allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman in the Houston area nearly four years ago, his attorney said Wednesday. The unidentified woman filed a civil lawsuit against the Cleveland Browns quarterback on Monday in Harris County, Texas, seeking $1 million in damages, claiming that he committed sexual assault and battery ahead of a dinner date at her apartment in October 2020. Meanwhile, the NFL said Tuesday it is reviewing the allegations and any potential violations of the league's personal conduct policy, and the Browns said they would follow the league's guidelines. On Wednesday, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Watson will play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
