(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack) (Phelan M. Ebenhack)Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson apologized Friday “to all the women I have impacted" after being accused by two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. Watson, who is facing a potential year-long NFL suspension, spoke before Cleveland's exhibition opener in Jacksonville — his first game since Jan. 3, 2021, with the Houston Texans. Watson was asked in a pregame TV interview for his response to Robinson's position that he hasn't been contrite. “Look, I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation,” Watson said in the interview. Depending on Harvey's ruling, Watson could be away from the Browns for an extended period.

In the meantime, the Browns are planning to see Watson in a game. For now, Watson's scheduled appearance against the Jaguars will be his first in a game since Jan. 3, 2021, his final one with the Texans. The Browns traded three first-round picks to the Texans and signed Watson to a five-year, $230 million contract in March despite his legal entanglement. However, the league, which has been pushing for an indefinite suspension and fine, felt Robinson's penalty was too light and appealed.

NFL: MAY 31 Jacksonville Jaguars OTA Offseason Workouts JACKSONVILLE, FL - MAY 31: Jacksonville Jaguars Kicker Andrew Mevis (12) during Jacksonville Jaguars OTA Offseason Workouts on May 31, 2022 at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fl. Four days into his first training camp, Mevis was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing three field goals during the team's Thursday warm-ups, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. He made 40-61 field goals in college, including 20-23 in 2021, and made two extra points at the 2022 Senior Bowl. Now, if Urban Mayer had still been head coach, maybe he would have done more than just cut Mevis.
