Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was back on the football field Thursday as the Houston Texans began training camp for the 2018 football season.
Watson is coming off an ACL tear last October in practice in which he tore the ACL in his right knee. Watson also tore his left ACL while playing at Clemson in 2014.
The two-time Davey O’Brien Award winner did not wear a brace in Thursday’s practice.
Here is what they are saying about Watson on Twitter.
After not participating in team drills this offseason, #Texans QB Deshaun Watson is taking first-team reps during team drills now. Another step. Also… he’s pretty good, it seems.

Former Ravens HC Brian Billick: I'm more intrigued and excited to see year 1 to year 2 progress from Deshaun Watson than any QB the last 15 years.
(This dude has captivated the minds of offensive coaches. The possibilities! Dabo's MJ comments getting stronger by the day.)

Deshaun Watson just threw a beautiful 50 yd bomb to Will Fuller. Right on the money. #TexansCamp @abc13houston
