The news that Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is out of action again due to injury is a major blow for the team. Watson, who has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL since he was drafted in 2017, has been sidelined with a season-ending ACL injury. This is the second time in his career that Watson has suffered a serious injury, as he previously tore his ACL in college.
Watson’s absence will be a major loss for the Texans, as he had been playing at an elite level this season. He had thrown for 2,852 yards and 26 touchdowns, while also rushing for five touchdowns. His ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs had made him one of the most dangerous players in the league.
The Texans will now have to turn to backup quarterback AJ McCarron to lead the team for the remainder of the season. McCarron is a veteran who has experience starting in the NFL, but he is not nearly as dynamic as Watson. The Texans will likely have to rely on their running game and defense to carry them through the remainder of the season.
The Texans will also have to hope that Watson can make a full recovery from his injury. He is expected to be out for at least nine months, so it is possible that he could miss part of next season as well. It is a huge blow to the team, but they will have to find a way to move forward without their star quarterback.
The loss of Deshaun Watson is a major setback for the Houston Texans, but they will have to find a way to make do without him. They have a capable backup in AJ McCarron, and they will have to rely on their running game and defense to carry them through the remainder of the season. The team will also be hoping that Watson can make a full recovery and be back on the field next season.
