Indefinite would be an interesting twist.

I still personally believe it will be only a season. 

I makes sense. They did something similar with Myles Garrett. He was suspected the rest of the year and indefinitely pending the following year.

That would never hold up in Court. They cannot leave a punishment "open ended" and if they did, lawsuits would be filed by both Watson and the NFLPA. There are structures for suspensions and I doubt any of them say "12 games, but we will play the rest by ear". Leaving is open ended incentivizes new allegations that may not necessarily be true, either. I know false accusations occur rarely but if there was a case that would get them, it would be this.

Maybe the rules are different now but it has certainly happened in the past...
