Deshaun Watson undergoes surgery on torn ACL

Doctors did not find any additional damage in the knee of Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson while they performed ACL surgery on him Wednesday morning in Houston, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Watson tore the ACL in his right knee during practice last week, though video showed that he may have initially been injured during a Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

A source previously told Schefter that the projected timeline for Watson's recovery is eight to nine months. Watson returned from a torn left ACL in five months while he was a college quarterback at Clemson.
