Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who has filed three lawsuits against Deshaun Watson on behalf of his clients, posted a letter from the NFL on Thursday that reveals the league is investigating the allegations against the Texans quarterback.

The letter from Lisa Friel, who is the NFL's special counsel for investigations, is dated March 18 and reads in part: "I am writing to let you know that the League has opened an investigation into these allegations and to request the cooperation of your clients in our investigation. Such cooperation would begin with engaging in Zoom interviews with myself and another League investigator at which, of course, you would be present.
