DESHAUN WATSON

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio says it was his decision to fire head coach David Culley after just one season.

Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/GettyIn recent weeks, NFL pundits have been feverishly speculating about potential landing spots for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, with many pointing to Miami as a likely destination. The 26-year-old is a three-time Pro Bowler who should be in the prime of his career. However, he was ruled out of every game in the 2021 season due to “non-injury reasons/personal matter”—or at least, that’s what the Texans called it. The reality

The Houston Texans have fired coach David Culley after just one season.

The Tennessee Titans clinched the top seed in the AFC for the first time in 14 years, beating the Houston Texans 28-25 on Sunday behind Ryan Tannehill’s career-high-tying four touchdown passes.

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes made the NFL’s first 17-game regular season feel a little more normal despite it being played through a pandemic again.

It may be that the schedule got a little bit easier as the Miami Dolphins were getting a little bit healthier. Turns out, everything changed at the trade deadline for the Dolphins after all. Instead of swinging a deal for embattled Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson or shedding big names to acquire assets for the future, the Dolphins traded an old attitude for a new one.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start for the Houston Texans when they visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after missing the past six games with a hamstring injury.

The Miami Dolphins did not ask Deshaun Watson’s accusers to sign non-disclosure agreements with hopes of resolving the sexual assault and misconduct cases against the embattled Houston quarterback before the NFL trade deadline.

In his first on-camera comments since the fatal shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust," Alec Baldwin described her as "my friend." Lilia Luciano has more on the story.

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Week 2, but his status for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams remains uncertain.

“I knew how much it meant to Tom, and I was willing to trade.”

Miami coach Brian Flores says Tua Tagovailoa is “our quarterback," reiterating his standard line amid trade speculation.

About a third of the starting quarterbacks have missed time because of injuries, and Richard Sherman’s return to the NFL was hastened by Tampa Bay’s need at cornerback.

Terry Bradshaw – $25,000,000Terry Bradshaw’s claim to fame is that he led the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories in six years. While he was traded to the Lion’s following the 2020-2021 season, this hasn’t impacted his net worth. Dan Marino – $50,000,000It’s strange that a man that never one a Super Bowl (only making it to the Super Bowl once) is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in that position. With a two-year contract extension worth $66,000,000, his net worth worth is $70,000,000. Due to his successful NFL career, Ryan currently has a net worth of $70,000,000.

I want to thank the McNair family for drafting me and giving me my first opportunity in the NFL. Thank you, Houston." Watt said Houston fans have always treated him like family -- except draft night when they booed him, he joked -- and he truly feels like they're part of his family. "The city of Houston has been unbelievable to me," Watt said.

The question may haunt the Chicago Bears for the next decade. Or the next quarter-century. Several whys actually. Starting with, why will Sunday mark Deshaun Watson’s first game at Soldier Field? Why weren’t the Bears more interested in the talented Clemson quarterback heading into the 2017 draft?

Cheers to a great Texans effort in LondonMaybe the Texans should lobby the NFL to play in London more often.

Baylor dominated the stats, collecting 26 first downs to 12 for West Virginia and outgaining West Virginia, 453-219, but three turnovers proved costly and kept the Mountaineers in the game.

Hyde finished with 19 carries for 160 yards for the Texans (6-3), including a 58-yard run that looked headed for a touchdown until Jags safety Jarrod Wilson stripped the ball at the 2.

Jaguars linemen Taven Bryan and Yannick Ngakoue were swarming Watson as he dropped back to pass in the second quarter with the Texans on the move.

Whats next for Texans after Watt injury? For the third time in four seasons, the Texans saw star defensive end J.J. Watts season cut short due to injury. But nobody in the league will feel sorry for the Texans, so how do they move on without Watt out after he suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Sundays 27-24 win over the Oakland Raiders? The Texans could also try to look for help in the trade market before Tuesday's trade deadline, but any trade made wouldn't be major. But ultimately, the biggest key to keep winning without Watt will be quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Carr found Williams on a 46-yard touchdown pass later in the third to make it 21-13. The Raiders made it 24-20 with a 44-yard field goal with about 11 minutes left. The Texans tied it later in the first when Watson threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Duke Johnson.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - There were plenty of people standing on the Houston Texans sideline that felt they had something to prove against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Most importantly, Bill O'Brien proved he could beat a team pegged a Super Bowl contender, leading the Texans to a come-from-behind 31-24 victory after losing three of his last four to Kansas City. That was still a possibility until DeAndre Hopkins made a sliding grab on fourth-and-3 from the Kansas City 27 with just under 2 minutes to go. It was Kansas City that started hot, engineering drives of at least 90 yards twice in the first quarter.

The Texans tacked on a field goal later in the third before Fells caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Watson to extend the lead to 33-17. Watson completed two long throws on the that drive, finding Fuller for a 32-yard gain before connecting with DeAndre Hopkins for 29 yards. Houston tied it when Watson found Fuller for a 6-yard touchdown later in the first. Fuller got in front of the defense and grabbed a 33-yard touchdown pass in the second, but the kicked failed to leave the Texans up 13-10.

According to ESPN , Watson spent the summer before his freshman year of high school working at the Falcons' practice facility, which was just 10 minutes away from his childhood home in Georgia. As a young teen, Watson picked up footballs during practice, took care of the team's equipment and folded towels.

Unfortunately for the Texans their offense only turned those three turnovers into seven points in a 16-10 loss to the Panthers. Carolina pushed the lead to 16-10 when Joey Slye added a 26-yard field goal with 28 seconds left. Watson threw for 160 yards on a day the Texans had trouble sustaining drives even when given a short field after turnovers. After failing to get any points out of the first two fumbles by Allen, the Texans got to him again early in the third quarter. But the Texans couldn't do much on the ensuing drive, which included two sacks, and had to punt it away.

Keenan Allen caught 13 passes for a career-high 183 yards and two touchdowns from Rivers, who passed for 318 yards in the Bolts' second straight loss. Houston went up 27-17 with 9:40 to play on a typically magical effort by Watson , whose escape abilities usually kept him one step ahead of the Chargers' tough pass rush. The Chargers trimmed the lead to seven points and then drove into Houston territory in the final minute, converting two fourth downs along the way.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Deshaun Watson didn't get the longer preseason look he wanted against the Dallas Cowboys. Watson didn't return for a second series after getting dropped twice in three plays. Dak Prescott scrambled and threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Michael Gallup while playing the first two series for Dallas. Charlton got a second sack against Joe Webb III, and Kerry Hyder added a pair. Since he couldn't get a pass off in two dropbacks against the Cowboys, those will be his preseason numbers.
