Report: One Accuser Drops Civil Lawsuit Against Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, revealed that one woman has dropped her civil lawsuit against the Texans quarterback, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday.

“We believe we have names for 20 of the 22 lawsuits," Hardin said. "We’ve got one dismissed and we’re looking for one (name).”

Last week in two separate hearings, state district Judge Dedra Davis granted Watson's attorney a request to identify one of the 22 plaintiffs. A second judge made the same determination in the cases of 12 other women Friday afternoon. Later that same day, the attorneys came to an agreement to release a 14th name.
