Watson sued by 23rd woman

-

Another massage therapist has filed a civil lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterbac­k Deshaun Watson, raising the number of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct to 23.

Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representi­ng all the women, filed the latest lawsuit Tuesday in Texas and said in a text to the AP that there could be more legal action forthcomin­g against Watson.

“I will be filing a 24th case soon,” he said.

Buzbee did not provide any details about the latest case.

The previous 22 lawsuits were filed in 2021, and two of those cases recently received national attention when two of the women were interviewe­d for a segment on HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.”

BRONCOS: In Englewood, Colo., on Tuesday, a judge dismissed charges against Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy stemming from a dispute with his girlfriend that landed him in jail. Arapahoe County District Court Judge Chantel Contigugli­a closed the case after the county district attorney’s office filed a motion to dismiss the charges. That allowed Jeudy to attend the Broncos’ OTA practice Tuesday.

TV: Fox Sports completed its lineup for the 2022 season on Tuesday by announcing Greg Olsen as its lead NFL analyst. It previously announced that Kevin Burkhardt would be the top playby-play announcer. The move was expected after Joe Buck and Troy Aikman moved to ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

How long Olsen will remain in the top spot remains to be seen. Tom Brady has signed with Fox and will move into the booth after he retires for good.
