man that really sucks, he was looking really good. Hopefully he can make a full recovery resume where he left off.

My son sent me the news earlier by text. I was pleasantly surprised that he was saddened by the news.

Someone ought to figure this crap out. Noncontact injuries means something is wrong.

Really sucks for Watson and for the Texans. He is definitely a talent and fun to watch.

And I'm speculating here, but here we go with another non-contact severe knee injury, and it looks like the Texans practice on FieldTurf. I really think this needs to be looked at a lot more than it currently is. Having star players lost for the year continuously from these types of injuries is hurting the NFL right now as much as anything else IMO.

I was at the Vikings - Ravens game a week and a half ago, and they interviewed Matt Birk on the field at halftime. Interestingly, one of the things he wished for during the interview was to never have another NFL game played on artificial turf again. I thought that was pretty interesting, especially since he said it in the Vikings new stadium right in front of the Wilfs.

It says right here it was on a grass field...

PFT reported he was "limited" in practice just prior to the report of an ACL injury. They ran a quote that his knee was just 'sore.'

I was kinda wondering if there was a relation between whatever he was dealing with and today's injury..

It was a grass field. We need to stop blaming the turf and start realizing that football is game where injuries happen unfortunately. Its the worst part of the game by far. But its inherent.

Truth...But the other tale to be told is one of injuries more prevalent than before. That is a function of the human body never being meant to get this big, this fast and then play a game like this. Not without just breaking.
