Multiple reports have confirmed that the NFL and NFLPA have settled on Deshaun Watson’s suspension appeal. As a result, Watson will now be suspended for 11 games and fined $5 million. He will also undergo professional evaluation and begin a behavioral treatment program. This decision comes after the NFL appealed the initial six-game suspension that a third-party judge handed down. This news is a significant blow to the Cleveland Browns as Watson will not return to the field until week 13, where they will play his former team, the Houston Texans.
