Roger Goodell: Deshaun Watson Process Ongoing, Decision on Leave Not Imminent

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league won't yet make a decision on Deshaun Watson because of the lack of information regarding allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against him.

"We don't have all the access to that information, and pride ourselves on not interfering with that," Goodell told reporters Tuesday. "That process is ongoing, and we don't feel we have that necessary information to place him on the exempt list."

Ten women have made criminal complaints to the Houston police as of July. Eight of these women are among the 22 who have filed civil lawsuits against the Houston Texans quarterback.
