Watson tore the ACL in his right knee, a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen, confirming a Houston Chronicle report.
The injury occurred about halfway through practice on a grass field; Watson appeared to trip or fall but did not yell, someone present at practice told Schefter. Watson got up and felt his knee before it was looked at, but the person said no one believed the injury was season-ending.
Watson did not finish practice. Tom Savage took over at quarterback.
The Texans will sign Matt McGloin to back up Savage, a source told ESPN's Dan Graziano, confirming a Houston Chronicle report. Also, in a text to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson, quarterback TJ Yates said he's signing with the Texans in backup role.
NFL Network first reported the possibility that Watson's ACL was torn and that it was a noncontact injury.
During his freshman season at Clemson in 2014, Watson played with a torn ACL in his left knee, coach Dabo Swinney said at the time. Watson suffered the injury in practice and played the following week. Watson was told he could continue playing with a brace securing the knee. Swinney released a statement on Twitter:

The loss of Watson is a blow for the Texans (3-4). His Total QBR of 81.9 leads the NFL and is the highest for any player in his first seven career games over the past 10 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Watson also ranks first in rushing yards among quarterbacks (269) and is tied for first in touchdown passes (19).
The Texans, who are contenders in the AFC South, have already lost defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Whitney Mercilus to injuries this season.
Watson has helped make the Texans the highest-scoring team in the NFL, with 30.7 points per game. Last season, Houston ranked 28th in points.
Watson's 19 touchdown passes are four more than the Texans quarterbacks (Brock Osweiler and Savage) combined for all of last season.
"It's just unfortunate. It's terrible news," cornerback Richard Sherman, whose Seattle Seahawks edged the Texans in a thriller last weekend, said when he heard the news. "Feel terrible for him and his family. He had such a bright future. He still has a bright future, but his rookie year is cut short. He probably had one of the best rookie months that anybody's had in a long time, so I'm sure he'll still be in the running for rookie of the year, but it's just not anything you want to hear.
"It just sucks that he doesn't get a chance to continue his season and finish it out. It's just a freak accident, man. But it sucks."
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in early October, texted ESPN's Josina Anderson with a message of support to Watson:
"Lil bruh I know at this time things may be scary. Your first year in the league; running for MVP; trying to win a championship, trying to get the spot you deserve, to defy the odds, to do the things they said you can't, and it all gets taken away.
"Look back in life to when you faced adversity and thought you would not overcome it, and then you did. As life went on, more and more obstacles came your way that you had to again overcome time and time again but you got through it somehow. Now life throws you bigger problems and again you're faced with a test.
"Everything is a blessing in disguise. Truly believe that this all happens for a reason. Take this time to evaluate and appreciate everything you've been blessed with. Life's still good, kid. WE LIVINN!! And we will be back better than ever. I'll see you this off-season lil b."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
