Houston Texans coach David Culley deflects questions on Deshaun Watson

HOUSTON -- In his first news conference since 23 lawsuits were filed against Deshaun Watson, Texans coach David Culley declined to answer whether he expects the quarterback to attend the team's offseason workouts.

The Texans' organized team activities begin May 24, but attendance is voluntary until the team's mandatory minicamp starting June 15.

"We have nothing to say about that situation at this time," Culley said Saturday. "[Texans chairman] Cal [McNair] and ownership a few weeks back indicated about how our organization feels about the situation. I think when [general manager] Nick [Caserio] was on not long ago, he also mentioned that the legal process was in effect right now and we're going to respect that and go from there.
