WATCH: Texans QB Deshaun Watson posts second workout video to Instagram

Quarterback Deshaun Watson did not show up for any of the Houston Texans’ offseason workouts for the entire eight weeks, including the team’s 10 sessions of organized team activities.

But that doesn’t mean the three-time Pro Bowler has been missing any workouts.

According to an Instagram video posted on June 18, the former 2017 first-round pick appears to be working out at Classic Sports Nutrition in Farmingdale, New York, which is on Long Island.

Watson is seen in the video throwing footballs and going through conventional agility drills on a practice field. The 6-2, 215-pound quarterback is also shown lifting weights and throwing medicine balls inside the gym.

The video is the second Watson has posted since March when he took to Twitter to respond to attorney Tony Buzbee’s intention to file the first lawsuit alleging sexual assault. In May, Watson finally broke his social media silence in a measure by posting a video of himself working out.

Compounding Watson’s availability issues, as the NFL is conducting their own investigation into the sexual assault lawsuits, is his trade request from January.

The Texans elected not to have mandatory minicamp, which was originally slated for June 14-16. As a result, Watson was not fined for missing practice. The next deadline to report or risk fines is training camp, which opens July 27.

General manager Nick Caserio told Sports Radio 610’s [KILT-AM] “Payne & Pendergast” on June 14 that the club would make any decisions regarding Watson the closer they got to training camp.

“The most important thing is for all of us — coaches, players, myself included is to focus on the things that we can control, and as we get more information, as we get closer to training camp, then we’ll try to make the best decision for the Houston Texans, whatever that entails,” Caserio said.

The Texans also have quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor, Jeff Driskel, and third-round rookie Davis Mills on the roster.
