Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's problems are far from over.
About three years ago, while wearing the colors of the Houston Texans, the athlete was accused of sexual misconduct during massage therapy more than twenty times. Most cases have been solved. However, USA Today learned Wednesday that Watson could be forced to testify again in one of his pending cases.

Lawyers for one of the footballer's alleged victims have filed a motion to force him to testify further. Representatives say Watson's initial statement ended after just over two hours when his attorney asked him to stop answering any further questions.
After missing the entire 2021 season due to the allegations, Watson was traded from the Texans to the Browns and signed a new $230 million contract. He was subsequently suspended for 11 games by the NFL in connection with the sexual misconduct allegations.
Still, according to USA Today, the Goodell circuit is not ruling out the idea of taking action against the quarterback again if new elements continue to emerge from future statements or a ruling.
