Watson has easily been the best rookie on the field this season and his outstanding play has made the Texans legit Super Bowl contenders in the AFC but who knows what happens with the team now that he’s out.
Update: Looks like it’s confirmed that Watson is out for the season and will need to undergo surgery to repair torn.
Confirming @RapSheet report. Watson done for season. Will undergo surgery to repair torn ACL suffered in non contact drill on practice
