Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is currently recovering from a torn Achilles injury, made his first road trip of the season to be there with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who is expected to make his first NFL start of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders. Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot reported the news on Sunday.
However, according to NFL commentator Jason Whitlock, Watson’s presence in Las Vegas is for some entirely different reason than to support Sanders from the sidelines.
“Free trip to Vegas. Anyone shocked Deshaun took this trip does not know Deshaun. What happens in Vegas massage parlors stays in Vegas,” Whitlock wrote.

With this tweet, Whitlock took a jibe at Watson and his name in past allegations involving massage parlors.
Everything to Know About Deshaun Watson’s Massage Allegations and Controversy
In early 2021, when Deshaun Watson was the Houston Texans quarterback, multiple lawsuits were filed against him for alleged sexual misconduct and assault during massage sessions.
The lawsuit mentioned that Watson allegedly exposed his sexual organs, asked for sexual activity during the session, and even coerced the service women into unwanted activity. The suits describe psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional distress suffered by the alleged victims.
In the wake of the lawsuits, the NFL suspended Watson for 11 games, fined him $5 million, and asked him to attend a treatment program for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.
The quarterback settled 23 of 24 lawsuits with confidential terms.
This was not the end of Watson’s legal troubles. Last year in Sept., another lawsuit was filed against him by a woman, who identified as “Jane Doe” in the documents. The woman mentioned in the lawsuit that Watson’s camp asked for her number on behalf of the quarterback. She was “flattered” knowing that the duo started texting over the next few months.
After rejecting a date at the Houston Galleria, the woman said she invited Watson to her apartment for dinner. However, Watson got angry on the way and even allegedly screamed at her.
At her home, while the woman was applying makeup in the bathroom, Watson lay down on his stomach naked, asking her to massage his but*. The woman got “terrified” while massaging his back instead. Watson then turned and asked her to massage fromthe knees to the groin area. She allegedly declined the request.
“Before Jane Doe could answer, Watson grabbed Jane Doe’s leg and positioned her so that she was lying down,” the lawsuit mentions. “Watson then partially disrobed Jane Doe and penetrated her vagina without consent, implicit or explicit. Jane Doe felt paralyzed, unsure if she should risk her safety by trying to stop Watson or endure his assault.”
On October 8, 2024, it was reported that Watson and the plaintiff in this lawsuit reached a confidential settlement.
As such, Watson’s reputation around the league isn’t high.
