When reports for the Houston Texans said quarterback Deshaun Watson was playing scout team defense on the first day of training camp, that is something which will make you take a double take.

Multiple Houston Texans reporters who are currently covering training camp in person reported Wednesday morning the Texans had Deshaun Watson as not only their fourth string quarterback, but he was “playing safety” on the scout team defense.

Say what?

Remember this offseason Deshaun Watson requested a trade from the Texans, and he’s also had some off-the-field legal issues that are still going on.
