FILE - Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II (20) looks on between plays during the second half of an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Oct. 23, 2022, in Baltimore. Newsome did no try to hide his dejection or disappointment. He wanted to face Ja'Marr Chase. Newsome's chance to prove to the Bengals star wide receiver that he is a top-flight cornerback has been postponed. Chase's hip injury will keep him out of Monday night's Cincinnati-Cleveland clash and Newsome is not happy about it. (AP Photo/Terrance Williams, File)

Watson, who was later traded to the Cleveland Browns, has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill, File)
