The Deshaun Watson case has entered into discovery, which could play out well into the coming season, with depositions set to begin in September.

The 22 women who are suing the Houston Texans quarterback for alleged sexual assault would be deposed before Watson, who's not scheduled until early 2022, attorney Rusty Hardin said Tuesday.

According to the docket for the case, Watson can't be deposed before Feb. 22, 2022.
