The two remaining lawsuits stemming from over two dozen allegations of sexual misconduct against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson were dismissed Friday, according to court records, after at least one settlement was reached.

The lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled. One was set to go to trial on Feb. 18, while the other was set for March 30.
