Watson unlikely to take bus to future games

Deshaun Watson's days riding the bus to his team's games are likely over.

The Houston Texans quarterback made headlines Sunday for traveling to his team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on a bus due to a bruised lung and injured ribs.

The Texans were reportedly concerned about how air pressure would impact Watson's lungs and ribs and elected to send him on a bus ride instead of the team plane.

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed that it's unlikely Watson will take the bus again, per NFL Network's James Palmer, and made light of his quarterback's ongoing situation.

"The first thing, if you can't fly, let's talk to Deshaun about what he wants to do. You can't fly, but there are modes of transportation. We had choices of Amtrak, rock-'n'-roll tour bus, horse and buggy," O'Brien said via the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson.

Watson arrived in Houston on Monday morning. He completed 12-of-24 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown during the 20-7 win over the Jaguars.

The Texans play the Miami Dolphins at home Thursday. The team will then have a 10-day rest before its Nov. 4 contest against the Denver Broncos, giving Watson time to recover.
