The Houston Texans suffered some bad luck on Thursday, as rookie sensation Deshaun Watson went down with a season-ending ACL injury during practice, according to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The injury means that former Pitt quarterback Tom Savage will start under center this Sunday, when the Texans host the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC South matchup. He’ll be backed up by newly signed quarterback Matt McGloin, per Rapoport.
Savage was infamously benched after just one half of football when the Texans played the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.
