The Cleveland Browns are quietly bracing for Deshaun Watson to receive an eight-game suspension from the NFL.

It had previously been reported that Watson would likely be suspended anywhere from two to eight games.

The NFL has suspended Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Bobby Brown for the first six games of the 2022 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Brown, 21, will be eligible to return to the active roster October 17.

A 2021 fourth-round pick from Texas A&M, Brown played in 10 games his rookie season, but saw only 22 snaps on defense.
