Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson “strongly denies” the latest sexual assault allegations made against him, his attorney said on Wednesday.
An unidentified woman is seeking $1m (£764,000) in damages after filing a civil lawsuit against the 28-year-old in Houston, Texas on Monday.
The incident allegedly occurred while the pair were on a date in October 2020.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, meanwhile, says Watson will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday after playing in last weekend’s season-opening defeat against the Dallas Cowboys.
Stefanski said he was unaware of the allegations before the lawsuit was filed and had not considered leaving Watson out.
