The NFL could be making its decision on whether or not Deshaun Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy. ESPN reports that NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson is expected to issue a ruling today in regards to Watson’s case, which could lead to a potential suspension. Robinson heard arguments from the league, players union and Watson’s attorney during a three-day hearing. The NFL is pushing for a year-long suspension for the former Texans and current Browns quarterback. Watson has already settled 20 of the 24 lawsuits he was facing after being accused of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct.
