Officially, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson is suspended for the first six games of the 2022 NFL regular season. Watson will be able to practice in training camp and play in preseason games before the suspension starts. The financial impact on Watson is minimal.
With the new collective bargaining agreement, Watson can return to practice with the team in Week 4 before returning to games in Week 7.
We say officially because both the NFL and the NFLPA hold the right to appeal Judge Sue Robinson’s decision. The NFLPA has already announced that their side would not do so but the NFL is mulling whether they will.
