Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has struggled on the field this season, but now his off-field challenges could overshadow all of that.

Watson, who has a history of accusations of sexual misconduct against him, received another lawsuit in September for alleged sexual assault and battery of a Houston woman. The woman sued Watson for $1 million and the case was settled earlier this month. Meanwhile, the NFL is looking into the case, which commissioner Roger Goodell addressed during the owners’ meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
