With the conclusion of Deshaun Watson's disciplinary hearings Thursday, the NFL is adamant about an indefinite suspension for the Cleveland Browns quarterback accused of sexual misconduct.
Deshaun Watson’s disciplinary hearing concluded Thursday with the NFL adamant about an indefinite suspension of at least one year and the quarterback’s legal team arguing there’s no basis for that punishment, two people with knowledge of the case told the Associated Press.
Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFL Players Association, will determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline.Post-hearing briefs are due the week of July 11, so it’s uncertain when Robinson will make a ruling. The Cleveland Browns are hoping to know Watson’s availability before training camp starts July 27.
A person familiar with Watson’s defense told the AP they expect a suspension. Asked what would be acceptable, the person said: “Our goal is to get him back on the field this year.”
