It is becoming increasingly less certain exactly when we will learn what disciplinary officer Sue Robinson’s decision will be regarding the fate of Deshaun Watson, the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. It is equally less certain when we will find out. All teams will begin training camp, if they haven’t already, by this time next week, but there’s no guarantee Cleveland will know the decision by then.
Watson, who is facing four outstanding civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct during the administration of massage therapy after settling 20 separate cases, is expected to face a suspension this season, with the NFL having held the position that he should be suspended indefinitely for a length of at least one season.
