Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was greeted by boos as he ran out on to the field to warm up ahead of his regular-season debut Sunday.
Watson made his return to the field after serving his 11-game suspension from the NFL for sexual misconduct allegations.
He made his regular-season debut against Houston, which drafted him in 2017 and traded him to Cleveland in March for three first-round draft picks. The Browns subsequently gave Watson a new, five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million deal.
Watson agreed to the lengthy suspension, a $5million fine and to undergo professional counseling and therapy after an independent arbitrator ruled that he violated the league's personal conduct policy.
As he ran out on to the field to warm up ahead of Sunday's game, spectators in attendance booed the quarterback. However, there was also a few isolated cheers.
Watson settled with 23 of the women who sued him over the allegations. Two lawsuits remain pending.

He has always maintained he didn't harass or force himself on any women. Two grand juries in Texas declined to indict him over the allegations.
