Deshaun Watson set for NFL return as suspension ends and Cleveland Browns make key move

Deshaun Watson has been added to the Cleveland Browns roster after his suspension expired, and the quarterback is expected to start on Sunday.

Watson hasn't played in the NFL since the 2020 season, when he recorded the best numbers in Houston Texans franchise history as a quarterback. Watson finished the season as franchise leader in passing touchdowns, passing yards and passer rating, but was ruled out for every Texans game in 2021 for 'non-injury reasons/personal matter'.

It later transpired that Watson had been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual assault and other inappropriate sexual misconduct during massage sessions, and was then suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 regular season. Watson was only traded to the Browns in March, but is set to finally make his first appearance eight months later.
