Huh-OH Watson

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Texans fear Deshaun Watson suffered a torn ACL in Thursday's practice.

We're in as much disbelief as you. Just stunning, awful news. Per Rapsheet, it was a non-contact injury. Watson is undergoing an MRI to confirm the news. Perhaps we'll get a miracle, but Watson can safely be considered out for Week 9, meaning Tom Savage will be under center for the Texans in what would have been a dream matchup for Watson against the Colts. It's an across the board downgrade for the Texans, with DeAndre Hopkins falling to low-end WR1 status, Will Fuller boom-or-bust WR and Lamar Miller RB1/2 borderline.

Hopkins heads back to WR 2 at best for your teams.

Miller will be lucky to be a RB 2 after this week.

Fuller becomes a risky flex.

Am I overstating it? Am I missing anyone?

Braxton Miller might become a new toy in many wild formations. I heard Cowher talking about Obriens mind set post injury. What's he have to lose?

But can Savage deliver him the ball?
Savage won't have to. Braxton Miller was a QB at THE Ohio State, use him in wild cat formations and take advantage of his athleticism. Take some pressure off of Savage.

Funny note, Houston has also signed Matt McGloin and T.J. Yates at QB.

but no Kaepernick
