Now he joins the list of injured standout players in what has been a trying season for the NFL. The Indianapolis Colts placed quarterback Andrew Luck, who hasn’t played all season, on the injured reserve list earlier Thursday and said he won’t play this season. Tom Savage, who began the season as the Texans’ starter before being benched by Coach Bill O’Brien in favour of Watson at halftime of the season opener, moves back into the starting role. Watson finishes his rookie season having thrown for 1,699 yards and 19 touchdowns with eight interceptions in seven games, including six starts. He made headlines when he gave his first NFL game check to workers in the Texans’ cafeteria who’d suffered losses during the hurricane-related flooding in Houston.
