Source: Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson suspended 6 games for violating NFL's personal conduct policy

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will serve a six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct, disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson ruled Monday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Watson will not be fined, the source told Schefter.

Robinson's comprehensive 15-page conclusion stated that though Watson violated the personal conduct policy, there was not enough evidence to justify an indefinite suspension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Sources told Schefter the ruling relied on 32 previous suspensions under the league's personal conduct policy since 2015. In 21 of those cases, the league suspended the player for six games, including the cases of Derrius Guice and Johnny Manziel.
