Watson was suspended for the first 11 games of 2022 because of sexual misconduct allegations against two dozen women, and he struggled considerably following his return to the field.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mai-link-exclude has-alt-background-color has-background has-light-background has-xs-padding-top has-xs-padding-bottom has-sm-padding-left has-sm-padding-right has-xl-margin-top has-xl-margin-bottom\" data-content-name=\"Google News Follow Us\" data-track-content=\"\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Watson was limited to six games last season before suffering a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery.
