Deshaun Watson to Face Houston Texans in Return from Suspension

Per @AdamSchefter Watson's first game back will be Week 13 against the Houston Texans, Watson's former team.

With Watson returning during a time when many teams will be making playoff runs, it will be an uphill battle toward success for the talented QB whose career has been marred by his conduct violations.
