Deshaun Watson settled three more civil lawsuits with women who accused him of sexual assault as the Cleveland Browns quarterback awaits a decision in his discipline case, an attorney said Sunday.

Watson was facing 24 active civil lawsuits since March 2021. Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the women, told ESPN that three of the four remaining lawsuits were settled.

Retired Judge Sue L. Robinson informed the NFL and the NFL Players Association she is ready to make a ruling on Watson’s disciplinary hearing, which occurred a month ago, according to multiple reports. The ruling is expected Monday.

For more than a year, Watson faced two dozen sexual harassment and assault suits from massage therapists. All the allegations mentioned in the lawsuits were said to have taken place between March 2020 and March 2021 while he was a member of the Houston Texans.

The Texans settled with 30 women last month.

Two separate Texas grand juries declined to indict Watson on criminal charges, stemming from the allegations.

Watson has denied ever sexually assaulting anyone. He has been participating in Browns’ training camp as he awaits the decision from the league.
