Texans' Deshaun Watson misses practice again but isn't injured

A report surfaced Monday that wantaway Houston Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson was missing practice sessions to receive treatment for the ankle and calf injuries that had sidelined him earlier this month. 

However, Texans coach David Culley told reporters Tuesday that the 25-year-old who requested a trade before he began facing 22 lawsuits alleging acts of sexual assault and misconduct and 10 criminal complaints is not injured. 

"Deshaun is here," Culley explained, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. 

"Again, every day he's here, he comes in, and he works. He does what we ask him to do and he's here every day and he's doing fine." 

Culley added on Watson: "He got his work done yesterday. He just didn't get his work done when we were out here. We had a little different schedule yesterday than he had been. He got his work in. He's doing fine." 

Watson did not attend this past Saturday's preseason opener at the Green Bay Packers and is not expected to travel with the Texans for this coming Saturday's exhibition matchup at the Dallas Cowboys. The Texans listed Watson fourth on the depth chart last week, but it's believed no team will trade for him now that a grand jury investigation has been launched regarding the serious and disturbing allegations made against him. 

Watson will likely be made ineligible to play for any team via the commissioner's exempt list if he's indicted. Meanwhile, veteran Tyrod Taylor remains Houston's QB1 heading into the weekend.
