Deshaun Watson Injury: Texans Reportedly Fear QB Suffered Torn ACL In Practice

The Injury apparently came in practice on Thursday and was suffered without contact to the rookie.

Today, you can add another name to that list: Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who tore his ACL in practice on Thursday and will miss the remainder of the season.

The injury is a brutal blow for the Texans, who have been lifted by the exciting play of Watson.

The 12th overall pick in this year's draft was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month after throwing for 1,171 yards with 16 touchdowns and running for 145 yards and another score.

But, for now, Tom Savage is the direction the team needs to go in for the time being, which is not exactly the ideal situation.

In addition, last Sunday, Watson became the first player in National Football League history with at least 400 passing yards, 50 rushing yards, and four passing touchdowns in one game according to Elias.
