Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson unlikely to play in preseason opener

HOUSTON -- Deshaun Watson is "unlikely to play" in the Texans' preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers "based on the limited reps he's had in practice," coach David Culley said Tuesday.

Earlier in the morning, Texans general manager Nick Caserio told Sports Radio 610 that he doesn't expect Watson to travel to Green Bay for Saturday's game.

Asked if he expected Watson to play at all this preseason, Culley said, "No comment."

After missing a week of practice, Watson returned to the field on Monday and Tuesday. He took part in the first five periods Monday and then briefly went into the team's indoor practice facility before returning to the sideline for the end of practice.
