Deshaun Watson Clearly Bothered by Injury as Texans Battle Bucs
By Ian Anderson
This doesn't look good for the Texans.
In the third quarter of the Houston Texans game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Texans' superstar quarterback Deshaun Watson limped into the injury tent to get checked on.

While the injury has not been disclosed, what matters is that Watson returned to the game for the Texans in what is a crucial game for Houston's playoff hopes.
Houston suffered a three-and-out in Watson's drive back, but it is clear to every NFL fan that the Texans stand little chance at winning this game if the Clemson product is taken out of the game.

Even while being hurt, Watson managed to scramble and earn his team a three-point lead late.

Watson had been far from perfect on Saturday, but his efforts in a game which would clinch the AFC South crown prove just how valuable he is to this Texans' team. While Houston's acquisition of Laremy Tunsil has given him a trusted source on the offensive line, he'll have to lean on that unit even more with a potential busted wheel.
