HOUSTON -- Nike has suspended its endorsement deal with Deshaun Watson, and sources told ESPN that Beats by Dre is ending its sponsorship of Watson amid the sexual assault and inappropriate behavior allegations against the Texans quarterback.
"We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and have suspended Deshaun Watson. We will continue to closely monitor the situation," Nike said in a statement Wednesday.
Houston-based Reliant Energy said in a statement that its relationship with Watson was scheduled to end this spring and that the company has "no plans for future engagements or contracts with him," and supermarket chain H-E-B said in a statement that "There are no plans for future engagement" after its deal with Watson expired after the 2020 season.
