Deshaun Watson OK to fly with Texans, coach Bill O'Brien says

HOUSTON -- When the Texans fly to Denver for their Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos, Deshaun Watson will be onboard.

When the Texans depart for Denver, it will have been two weeks since Houston's second-year quarterback had to take a bus more than 800 miles from Houston to Jacksonville. On Monday, coach Bill O'Brien confirmed that it's no longer a concern for Watson and he will travel with the rest of the team.

Watson injured his ribs and lung in the Texans' Week 5 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, but he has not missed a game since then.
