Texans GM Sort Of Gives Update On Deshaun Watson’s Future With Team

During a radio show Tuesday, Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio gave insight into his decision to fire former head coach David Culley and whether quarterback Deshaun Watson will play for the Texans again.

Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson still faces 22 civil lawsuits in which he is accused of sexually assaulting or engaging in sexually inappropriate behavior during massage sessions, and Caserio told Sports Radio 610 that Watson playing “more than likely would not be the case.”

“I think we have to be open-minded and just take the information and process it and ultimately make the decision that we feel makes the most sense for everybody involved, whatever that looks like,” Caserio said.

Caserio, in his second year with the team, fired Culley on Thursday after one year, citing “philosophical differences.”

The team has interviewed four candidates for the vacancy so far:

• Brian Flores, former Dolphins head coach;
• Jonathan Gannon, Eagles defensive coordinator;
• Joe Lombardi, Chargers offensive coordinator;
• Hines Ward, special assistant to the head coach at Florida Atlantic University.
