The Houston Texans have been sued for allegedly enabling former uarterback Deshaun Watson’s behavior during massage therapy sessions.
The lawsuit filed on Monday in Harris County, Texas, accuses the team of being aware of Watson’s alleged behavior during massage therapy sessions, and that “individuals within the Texans organization knew or should have known of Watson’s conduct.” The lawsuit also states that the Texans provided Watson with resources to conduct his therapy sessions, including “rooms set up for him at the Houstonian Hotel, massage tables provided to him for private massage sessions, and a NDA provided to him from the head of Texans’ security.”
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Watson’s hearing before disciplinary officer Sue Robinson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association, will begin on Tuesday.
Watson is facing potential discipline from the NFL, which is independently investigating whether he violated the league’s personal-conduct policy after Watson was accused of sexual assault and misconduct during massage sessions.
It was announced last Tuesday that Watson had reached confidential settlements with 20 of the 24 women who have filed civil lawsuits alleging he committed sexual misconduct.

Richardson worked the past four seasons as an assistant for the Montreal Canadiens and coached the final four games of the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinal against the Vegas Golden Knights, going 3-1 after coach Dominique Ducharme tested positive for COVID-19. The Canadiens won the best-of-7 series in six games before losing the Stanley Cup Final in five games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
