Watson pleased with knee in Texans' OTAs

Quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans participated in individual and 7-and-7 drills during organized team activities and said his surgically repaired right knee held up well.

Watson sustained the injury during practice last Nov. 2 and underwent surgery at week later, ending his rookie season.

"My knee feels well," Watson said via the Texans' official website. "I'm comfortable to be able to go out there and throw and do some things on air and get the timing down with the receivers."

Watson told reporters a week ago that his rehab was going well.

While he expressed more confidence in his knee, in which the ACL was repaired, he said more improvement is necessary.

"There's really no timeline on ACLs," Watson said. "It just depends on how that person feels."

Before suffering the knee injury, Watson amassed 1,699 yards passing and 19 touchdowns in seven games, adding 269 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 36 carries.

The Texans averaged 40 points per game between Weeks 4 and 8 with Watson at quarterback.
