The Cleveland Browns reportedly expect to be without Deshaun Watson for eight games in the 2022 campaign.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk cited a league source and reported that the AFC North team is "bracing for an eight-game suspension" as jointly appointed disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson reviews materials submitted to her by the NFL and the NFL Players Association.
Florio previously reported "the currently expected range is two to eight games" for the suspension, although the league could then appeal the outcome.
That Watson may not be suspended for a full season echoes a report from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.
