![]() ![]() ![]() In all 26 civil lawsuits were filed against Watson: 23 were settled, one was dropped and two are pending.Watson was never criminally charged by police, and two grand juries declined to indict him earlier this year. ![]() Watson faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct from massage therapists. That differs from therapy, according to a league source, in that it hopes to help people recognize they caused harm with the actions they took and help them change behavior as to not cause harm in the future. The NFL pushed for Watson to go to mandatory behavioral treatment as administered by professional clinicians. In August, Watson, the NFL Players Association and the NFL reached a settlement where he was suspended 11 games, fined $5 million and required to go to treatment. Watson will play in his first game of the season today against the Houston Texans, his former team. And while the exact details of his program are privileged medical information, a league source said the NFL and its experts have been told "he has made progress" in the program. Indeed, sources tell CBS Sports that Watson had been informed by his behavioral clinical team that he shouldn't talk about his treatment program and recovery. In speaking to reporters on the record Thursday for the first time since before his 11-game suspension began, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson declined to address any non-football-related questions on the advice of his legal team and clinical team. ![]()
