Watson settled 23 of the lawsuits filed against him by women who said he assaulted or harassed them during massage appointments, and two grand juries in Texas declined to indict him on criminal charges. Though Watson was eligible to play, he sat out the 2021 N.F.L. season. The Browns traded for Watson this spring after a grand jury in Texas declined to indict him. “I want to say that I am truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation,” Watson said in an interview with the Browns broadcast team. Even with a regular-season suspension looming, he is able to participate in all practices and exhibition games until his suspension begins in the season’s first week. As the game’s kickoff approached, there was growing tension about whether Watson’s start would go ahead as planned.

Browns, Jets, Cardinals, 49ers, Falcons nail down preseason victories.

Jalen Hurts completed all six of his pass attempts, throwing for 80 yards and a touchdown for the Eagles. The 2022 first-round pick had one catch for 24 yards. He rushed for 23 yards on nine carries and added one reception for 10 yards.

Deshaun Watson will be playing in preseason games despite facing a six-game suspension to start the regular season. Here's why.

It makes plenty of sense that the Browns would want Watson to play during the preseason. He did not play in any preseason or regular-season games for the Texans. Rosen appeared in four games in 2021 for the Falcons, who were his fifth stop in the NFL, after the Cardinals (2018), Dolphins (2019), Buccaneers (2020) and 49ers (2020). According to a report by Pro Football Talk, the Browns will have Watson play during the preseason, though the number of snaps and games remains unknown. Once the 2022 NFL regular season comes around, Watson will be unable to play in at least the first six games. But they will get a chance to see him play in the preseason.

Welcome to the most confusing weekend of the NFL season. It's the first full weekend of preseason football, which is both good and bad. On one hand, I tell ...

- You can see an NFL game for just $3. If you have a few bucks in your pocket, you have enough money to see an NFL game. The Dolphins and Texanstried to make a trade this week, but the deal won't be happening because the only player involved in the trade, Adam Shaheen, failed his physical. The 49ers quarterback is headed into the final year of his current deal and any team that trades for him would have to be able to absorb his salary, which is scheduled to be $24.2 million in 2022. When it comes to money, there is one huge upside for the Browns: They're literally the only team in the NFL right now that has enough salary cap room to absorb Garoppolo's salary. In this game, Huntley got the start and he went wild, completing 16 of 18 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. The Titans' only TD of the game came on a 7-yard scramble by Willis. He set up the score by going 2 of 2 for 30 yards on the drive. If we learned one thing from this game, it's that the Ravens might have the best backup quarterback in the NFL. We got a small taste of Huntley last season when Jackson went down with an injury. If the NFL is willing to settle, Watson is open to an eight-game suspension that would also include a $5 million fine. I'm not going to go out and bet the Giants to win the NFC East, but if you're a Giants fan, you had to be thrilled to see Jones show some promise in his first game with new coach Brian Daboll. Roger Goodell has made it clear that the league wants to see Watson suspended for at least a year. Accordingto ESPN.com, the NFL put a 12-game suspension on the table (along with an $8 million to $10 million fine) as its final offer, but Watson shot that down. With that in mind, let's get to the rundown.

"I know I have a lot of work to put in, especially on the field to make sure I'm ready to play whenever that time comes whenever I can step back on the field," Watson said when asked how he'd spend that time away on a personal level. "My decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position, I would definitely like to have back.
