Browns' Deshaun Watson: Suspended six games
Per a ruling from NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, Watson is slated to be suspended for the first six games of the 2022 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Prior to Robinson's ruling, the NFL Players Association announced that it wouldn't appeal the decision. According to Peliserro, the NFL has three days to file an appeal, and if that occurs, it would be heard by commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's unclear at this stage whether the league will appeal the ruling. Per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com, if Watson's suspension is upheld, he still will be able to participate in practice during the preseason, after which Jacoby Brissett would be in line to fill in as the Browns' starting quarterback to begin the regular season.
