Texans' Watson dealing with bruised lung, traveled via bus to face Jaguars
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was forced to travel via bus instead of the team flight for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a bruised lung and injured ribs, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.
The Texans were reportedly concerned with how the air pressure on the flight could have impacted Watson's injuries.
The 23-year-old signal-caller has played all six games this season. He completed 15 of 25 pass attempts for 177 yards and a touchdown, but threw two interceptions last week against the Buffalo Bills.
Watson has nine touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season, with another score added on the ground. He's been sacked a league-high 25 times after returning from a torn ACL that prematurely ended his rookie season.
