In one step, the blink of an eye, Deshaun Watson's season ended.

The star rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans suffered a torn ACL at practice on Thursday, and on Friday, he relayed a message about how he already misses football.

"They say you never miss it until it's gone and even though it's not gone for long, I already miss it," Watson wrote. "Yesterday I felt like I let my teammates, my fans and my family down. However, as a child of God, I understand that everything happens for a reason. He don't make mistakes!"

Watson bounced back from a torn ACL before when he suffered a similar injury in college. He vows he will "conquer it once again."

"I promise that I will continue to work diligently so that this team can one day bring a championship to Houston, and when I return, I will be better, stronger, and more focused than ever before!"
