The NFL released a statement Friday, saying that it was aware of a new lawsuit filed against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in Texas on Thursday, but that Watson’s status with the league remains unaffected at this time.

“Watson’s status remains unchanged,” NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said in a statement. “We will monitor developments in the newly filed litigation; and any conduct that warrants further investigation or possible additional sanctions would be addressed within the Personal Conduct Policy.”
