Deshaun Watson can be deposed in the coming weeks for nine of the 22 civil cases filed against him, a court ruled on Monday per ESPN’s John Barr.

Rusty Hardin, who is representing Watson, argued in court that the deposition should be delayed, since it is unclear whether or not the quarterback will face criminal charges.
