Watson dodges one bullet

Though there is no news on Deshaun Watson’s legal situation, the embattled quarterback did get some good news on Wednesday.

The Houston Texans decided they will not hold mandatory minicamp next week. That means the former Clemson star will avoid big fines.

According to Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, the former Clemson quarterback will avoid paying $93,085 in fines now that the Texans have followed the lead of other NFL teams and elected to cancel next week’s minicamp.

Indianapolis and Philadelphia announced last month they would not have the traditional three-day minicamp — the only part of the offseason program that’s mandatory.
