HOUSTON -- As the Houston Texans took the field for their first day of training camp on Wednesday morning, all eyes were on quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson reported to training camp this past Sunday after requesting a trade from the Texans in January. Less than two months later, the first of 23 lawsuits was filed accusing Watson of sexual assault and appropriate behavior. He currently faces 22 active lawsuits.
Despite the legal situation, when general manager Nick Caserio and head coach David Culley addressed the media on the first day of training camp, both said Watson's presence at training camp has not been a distraction.
