Watson had a decent size cut on his ankle. Hence, what the trainer was looking at yesterday.

My guess he's not out their because "he's hurt."

What all did the trainer do to him?

How did he get a cut from standing around?

Box cutter to the ankle.

Keeps him from having to do BS scout team work but also gets him paid for showing up and chilling in the shade.

So, good news, as a Houston Aggie, the Texans and the Ags have always been polar opposites in end result. Hopefully the Texans are absolute dog sheet, and the Ags win it all!!

Source: Talks are heating up between #Eagles and #Texans on a Deshaun Watson trade. Still some hurdles to get over. But both sides attempting to come to an agreement.

not sure about the Eagles as a trade partner.

thanks to the mediocre NFC East...Philly could be a 7 or 8-win team in 2021...and thus a middle of the pack 1st round pick

They have talked but not as close as this guy makes it.

It's a no unless they put the liberty bell in there too.

I hope Daryl Morey is handling negotiations for Philly.

Philly: Watson
Houston: Jalen Hurts, Ben Simmons, Donovan McNabb, John Kruk, and the Rocky statue.

I was worried this joke might not hit, but reading the last 2 posts gives me confidence.

Needs more draft picks to be a true Morey offer

Is that Elvin from The Cosby Show? No, it's Donovan McNabb.

I know this song.

I love watching the HOF speeches every year, what a treat this year since we got two classes worth. Peyton Manning, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Cowher, Charles Woodson, Troy Polamalu, Edgerrin James, and more.

I really hope to see Andre Johnson get the nod next year, or soon afterward. He and JJ are my favorite Texans of all time, and both deserving of the HOF. As much as I love to watch the speeches it also feels reinforces how hard it is to root for this damn team, but I keep doing it. It feels like every year someone from Pittsburgh, Dallas, New England or Indianapolis gets in every single year, if not multiple guys. It's clear that going to a good organization will give a guy a better chance to get that gold jacket than they might otherwise have.

Deshaun Watson is at Texans practice for the first time in over a week. Here he is talking to GM Nick Caserio. pic.twitter.com/WV1SBg8E7I

Why is the GM dressed like he is about to do a crossfit workout?

Apparently he is GM and assistant coach... seriously.

I think there's a comfortable medium between those 2. If he's coaching it makes more sense but still a little weird.

Probably letting him know that he'll be returning punts in the 4th quarter of this week's preseason matchup.

It's practice. Who the hell cares what he's wearing to practice?

The head coach/GM situation has never been my favorite. I like there to be two distinct individuals (working as a team) to handling these very distinct jobs. I think when you merge the two positions, you get a ton of weird outcomes on contracts, negotiations, playing time and personnel decisions. I can't say making the GM an assistant coach is any better.

I'm sure this is the "Patriot way", but that organizational ethos basically landed in a Boston dumpster once TB12 took his trophies and left.

Hahaha so negative 'the Patriot Way Sure it won 6 Super Bowls... but look at them now! Dumpster fire!'

All coaches workout in the morning before practice. Hence, the way Nick is dressed. Some change, some don't.

Nick and Watson seen here talking have taken a liking to each other. Mutual respect. Not saying it changes Watson desire to be traded either.

Just something to keep an eye on.

The whole Asst. Coach/GM thing ... I think McClain just doesn't have a lot to write about since he isn't given access that he is accustomed to.

There is a mandatory workout time? Or that is just when they can fit it in to their schedules due to other obligations. If the former, guess we'd never get Andy Reid.
