(SportsRadio 610) -- A Harris County district judge ordered for the release of the name of least one Deshaun Watson accuser among 22 lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct.
Tony Buzbee, who represents all 22 women in the lawsuits, must produce the name within 48 hours, Judge Dedra Davis ruled Friday morning.
Watson's attorney Rusty Hardin argued releasing the names is necessary out of fairness to his client, who reserves the right to know the accuser's identity.
Another hearing to address the same issue in 12 other cases is scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m.
Earlier this week, two of Watson's accusers went public during a press conference held by Buzbee. Within the next 24 hours, sponsors cut ties with Watson.
Nike put its endorsement deal with Watson on hold, while Beats By Dre, Reliant Energy and H-E-B announced they were ending their relationship with the Texans' quarterback.
