Houston Texans Quarterback DeShaun Watson Suffers Torn ACL Lost for Season

He injured his right knee in a non-contact drill on a grass field and witnesses said it appeared that he tripped or fell.

The loss of the rookie signal caller was immediately felt at sportsbooks. The Texans are hosting the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Before news of the injury Houston was a 14-point favorite. Thursday night the line had been slashed to seven. The over/under was also affected. It opened at 48, but has moved now to 46. The odds for the team to win the Super Bowl remain at 40-1.

Watson was having one of the best seasons of any offensive player making their NFL debut. The former Clemson standout, who led his team to the National Championship last year, was first in rushing yards among quarterbacks at 269 and was tied for first in touchdown passes with 19.

His quarterback rating of 81.9 led the NFL and is the highest for any player in his first seven career games in the last 10 years according to ESPN Stats & Information research. The team was averaging 30.7 points per game, the highest in the league. Last year they were 28th in that category.
Back Up Plan

Houston will now have to rely on second-stringer Tom Savage, who began the season as the starter but the was replaced by Watson midway through the first game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson threw for their only touchdown in a 29-7 loss. Savage was 7 of 13 for 62 yards and had two fumbles.

Ironically they will be facing a team who lost their starter before training camp. Indianapolis QB Andrew Luck who underwent shoulder surgery in January was hoping to play later this year, but suffered a setback in his rehabilitation and was put on injured reserve Thursday by the Colts and won’t see action this season.

His backup is second-year player Jacoby Brissett, who has been in the pocket since Week 2, when he replaced preseason starter Scott Tolzien. Under Brissett the team has gone 2-6 though has been 4-4 against the spread.!

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
