Texans QB Deshaun Watson's rehab 'on the right track'

Dec 19, 2017

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson said Tuesday that nearly six weeks after having ACL surgery, he is "on the right track" with his rehab.

Watson tore the ACL in his right leg in practice on Nov. 2 and had surgery six days later. He was initially given an eight-to-nine-month timeline to return to the field after surgery. Watson said that right now he expects to be back soon after the Texans' organized team activities (which start in mid-April and go until mid-June) and that his rehab is "going great."

Fantasy Impact:

Watson tore the ACL in his left leg during his freshman year at Clemson and returned to the field just five months later. The rookie said he has used what he learned from that experience and said it kept him from being "caught off guard" with what the recovery process would be like.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
