NFL Closes Deshaun Watson Investigation After Finding ‘Insufficient Evidence’ Against Him

The NFL closed its most recent investigation into Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson, citing insufficient evidence to punish him for sexual assault allegations. Cleveland.com’s Mark Kay Cabot shared the news from the league earlier Friday afternoon.

The #NFL has closed its review of Deshaun Watson’s case, a league spokesman told clevelanddotcom,” Cabot tweeted. “There was insufficient evidence to support a finding of a violation of the personal conduct policy.”

In September, Watson was sued by a Jane Doe for sexual assault that contained graphic allegations. As shared by Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the accuser alleged Watson came to her house before planning to go out on a date.
