Deshaun Watson has returned to the field in a regular-season game for the first time since Jan. 3, 2021.
With his 11-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy concluded, Watson took over for Jacoby Brissett as the Browns’ starting quarterback, playing his first regular-season game in 700 days.
Watson made his return to game action at NRG Stadium in Houston, home venue of his previous team, the Texans.
In the span of a year-plus, a total of 26 civil complaints were filed against Watson, describing graphic accounts of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
