One of the cases in which Mr. Buzbee was ordered to give us the name is related to that.
They wouldn't know they had to give us the name. He said that the team spent 72 hours trying to get the name and that they would like sanctions for making them go through this.
22 women amended their petitions to include their names after two judges ruled they needed to continue their cases. At the time, one of the lawsuits was dropped.

The league's personal conduct policy states that sexual assault on a massage therapist is a violation of the policy. The players association and the league reached a settlement on the suspension of the player. He was fined and had to go through a treatment program.
If it is found that he has violated the league's code of conduct, he could face even more punishment from the league.
McCarthy said thatWatson's status remained the same. Any conduct that warrants further investigation or possible additional sanctions would be addressed within the personal conduct policy.
There were two grand juries in Texas that didn't indict him. Sue L. Robinson, who was appointed by the league and players' union, found that the NFL had to prove that Mr. Robinson concluded in her report that the behavior of the man was reprehensible.
As part of the settlement, he was allowed to return to the facility. He won't be able to practice with the team until November 14.
