*Deshaun Watson – Noteworthy
QB Deshaun Watson completed 12-of-24 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown but no turnovers. It was a gutty performance by the Houston quarterback who made a 12-hour trip from Houston to Jacksonville on a customized bus with three other Texans officials because of Watson’s bruised lung and injured ribs. The team was concerned about the effect the air pressure on an airplane might have had on Watson.”It was smooth,” Watson said about his ride to northeast Florida. “We just kind of hung out, watched the film, recovery stuff, played a game, watched TV, slept. Stopped and got something to eat. That was pretty much it.”
Andre Hal – Noteworthy
S Andre Hal played Sunday after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in June, putting his football future in jeopardy. But a treatment plan sent the cancer into remission and Wednesday, he returned to practice. He was in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars and was ecstatic about his return to the game he loves. “It was great to be back, it was a blessing,” Hal said. “I didn’t know I was going to start, it was just the personnel, it was cool. In pregame warm-ups I just kind of looked up and thanked God.” Hal had more adversity to overcome this week as his father, Andre Hal, Sr., died of a heart attack on Tuesday at age 55.
