After an incredible start to what appears to be a very promising NFL career, rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans must go through an extensive healing process following surgery to repair a torn ACL.

Fortunately for Watson, no additional damage to his knee was found during the surgery, according to ESPN.

Doctors did not find any additional damage in the knee of Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson while they performed ACL surgery Wednesday morning in Houston, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Obviously, losing Watson to an ACL injury in his rookie season after what he was able to accomplish is devastating for the up-and-comer as well as the Texans franchise. Although the loss of Watson may have derailed the team's season, the fact there's no other damage to his knee is good news in an unfortunate situation in Houston.

The Texans have been in desperate need of a franchise quarterback and appear to have gotten one in Watson. The former Clemson Tigers star was shattering rookies records before going down, and as long as he's able to bounce back from the season-ending knee injury, Houston may finally have the player that can propel them into title contention for many years to come.

In only seven games for the Texans, Watson threw for 1,699 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also rushed for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Remarkable statistics for a rookie quarterback and a glimpse of the future for Houston.
