CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has resolved the latest civil lawsuit filed against him by a woman claiming sexual assault and battery.
The plaintiff's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, said in a text message to The Associated Press on Monday night that his client's claim against Watson has been settled confidentially.
Buzbee had threatened to have his client speak to the NFL, which had opened an investigation against Watson. It's not yet known if Watson will face any further discipline from the league.
A league spokesman declined comment in an email to AP.
