Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns quarterback accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage treatments, was suspended Monday for six games for violating the N.F.L.’s personal conduct policy and was not fined, according to two people with knowledge of the ruling who were not authorized to speak publicly.
As a condition of his reinstatement, Watson was also directed to use only club-approved massage therapists, in club-directed sessions, for the duration of his career, one of the people said.
The N.F.L. and the N.F.L. Players Association did not immediately return calls for comment.
