The NFL won't hold Deshaun Watson out from participating in training camp with the Houston Texans.

"At this time, there are no restrictions on Watson's participation in club activities," the league noted in a statement that ESPN's Sarah Barshop obtained.

The NFL's 2020 passing leader is facing 22 lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior. To this point, the NFL has decided not to place Watson on the commissioner's exempt list as investigations continue.

"The NFL's review of the serious allegations against Deshaun Watson remains ongoing and active. We are working cooperatively with the Houston Police Department and ensuring that the NFL's inquiry does not interfere with their investigation," read the statement, according to Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

Watson reported to training camp over the weekend. The team will take to the field for practice Wednesday.
