New Texans coach David Culley: Deshaun Watson is our quarterback 'right now'

Houston Texans head coach David Culley is committed to quarterback Deshaun Watson ... for "right now," at least. Culley raised some eyebrows Thursday, telling Jim Trotter and Steve Wyche that Watson is the team's starter "right now."

That phrase seems to suggest Watson may not be the starter when the 2021 season begins. Trotter and Wyche pressed Culley on that, causing him to clarify by saying, "He is our starting quarterback right now. And hopefully in the future."

Culley then echoed comments from his introductory press conference, in which he said he took the Texans' job knowing Watson would be the team's quarterback.
